Then there's track 3, the frenetic Barbola Work , dominated by Latin-y percussion. It's sort of a Tropicana Techno flavor, too aggressive to be considered ambient, in my mind, but quite a nice little piece. Similarly, Psil-Cosyin 's wildly changing styles make it another very busy tune, though its rambling nature doesn't appeal as strongly to me. Chase the Manhattan opens with clicks, buzzes, a droll voice and then that wonderfully insistent rhythm kicks in. One of my favorite tracks, it is uptempo, but not overbearing.
More voices appear, speaking of extraterrestrial things they've encountered.
Some of the other tracks, Tahr , Further Harm and the gently meandering Pot Noddle , for instance, are quite nice, but don't leave as strong an impression as the others. On the downside, I found Utopian Dream almost annoying. Nommo , track 11, is my personal favorite. The beat is alive, in the foreground, while the background tones weave luxuriously through space and time. The only song-length track devoid of computerized drumbeats, it sounds like a reverberating electric harp.
