Its concise sequence balances a memorable melodic opener with sharper acid workouts, while the compact format avoids overstaying its ideas.

What we noticed

  • The opener, “Crying in Your Face,” sets a firm machine beat beneath a repeating, plaintive synth line; “Home Made Polysynth” shifts the focus to a more insistent acid sequence.
  • The two shorter closing tracks keep the four-piece running time compact, moving from the busier acid textures of “Halibut Acid” into the more restrained “Breath March.”
