This album surely demonstrates a maturity in their sound and production. Have these guys been taking music theory lessons? I think so as this album is full of melodies which weren't present in past albums to the same degree as in Non Standards. Sounds like these guys picked up a Moog Voyager and a Jomox for drums+percussions and dumped the Microwave and sample cds as their production has a definite analog feel to it which is also fatter! Overall this album is solid. I just wish they experimented with more interesting use of fx and pattern programming as this album although well produced, sounds very standard. 8/10
