A very nice and plain noise record: it felt like what I'd imagine holding fans to your ears while falling through air would feel like.

The sounds were not high-pitched (à la Merzbow) but very mid-levelled; this made for nearly an ambient listening experience.

This is actually a very listenable album, considering how Merzbow usually includes a lot of high-pitched treble-laden noise. Au contraire, this is low-rumbling stuff (at least during the first 20 minutes); sounds made me feel as though massive ice-blocks were dragged all around me. In a good way, actually.

I had no problems working to this music!

This is a nice addition to the DJ-Kicks series: interesting, exciting, and not that inventive, but fairly upbeat. An electronic and simple mix that nicely rolls by as I'm working.
