From an interview I did with Peter Rehberg in 2000:
"She (MM reviewer of Get Out) said this sounds like someone trying to download a ZX Spectrum game. Fine! That sounds very good!"

A more unpleasant 31 minutes and 24 seconds you will not experience. Otherworldly and chaotic, the six songs are merged into one, filled with a constant beat surrounded by wailing and grunting nightmarish voices. ‘LIL’ provides a brief respite and shows a glimpse of a song, starting out daintily euphoric and losing the nitrous oxide vocals of the preceding two tracks before descending once more into a distinctly Arabian chaotic mess. The strange voices return and the music is left behind...What has been so enjoyable about other artists on Paw Tracks, in particular Animal Collective themselves, is that they challenge our perceptions of conceptual and typical song structure without completely abusing them, pushing boundaries instead of banishing them altogether.

yeah that's kinda what I've realised, after reading that review

Only got one Excepter album (Debt Dept) but the opening synth bit from 'Greenhouse/Stretch' keeps popping into my head
oh Curt1s, if only you read DiS more often, you'd learn so much ¬_¬

the best part about Presidence is the title track, to which they do give semi-props in that review

except for the "unnecessary longevity" jab - the longevity of that track is essential to its nature
― akon/family (Curt1s Stephens), Tuesday, 16 March 2010 15:33 (fourteen years ago) link
well I'm eager to get hold of it! sounds a bit Thighpaulsandraesque and y'all know how I stan for that dude
on a similar note, here's another recent DiS review of a record I love, full of baseless claims, inaccuracies, poor grammar, and rubbish musical analysis, that immediately alert you to the fact that the album is a LOT better than is claimed. yeah there are a few comments from me beneath. sorry, can't help it. http://drownedinsound.com/releases/15188/reviews/4139378

also longevity is never fucking unnecessary if it's what the artist wishes to express
