Havnt herd enough of it, but i love 'Come Inside' and 'Belive' was great.
'Galvanize' is a good tune but im less into the more hip hop tunes.
'Surface to air' sounded quite good but i need to listen more to get into it.
Really looking forward to hereing 'the boxer'!

Ok, a will try to review every track in way wchich i feel, and i'll try to do it in positive way.
GALVANIZE.
It has strongly beats , good bass line. I like much from this track this sequence in 3:16 when this repeating sound are coming and that go into the strong rhythm. Anyway i don't like this rap style, and in many places this track is little bore. But it has contain in Chems albums formula about all the first albums track is very strongly and powerfull - good track for intro.
THE BOXER
I like intro. It's like one of those sampling-joying things :) This is second strong track. Slowly, strong beat. Fine thing is this sampled-reapeating synths in whole track. It' has some massive phased synth also contained like in surrender album, but here it sound seriously massive. Vocal is done in traditional, standard way. Normal song for me and very catchy. I think this may be i single.
BELIEVE
The intro is just AMAZING to me. But the rest is VERY DISSAPOINTING!!!!!!!!This track change from really fine and strange to a normal singing track ! :(That really pissing me off, because this was a chance for only one good, strange track. Enyway, the beat is fine, housy.
HOLD TIGHT LONDON
I like it. It's make really good climate. The rhythm is the same for all the song, what's make it a little bored, but with another hand this is some kind of psychedelia in this, and even romantic :)
COME INSIDE
Not like the intro. In this track i love very much the non-stop hihats in the backgrounds wchich make this track a little groundbreaking, BUT for real grundbreak is to weak. It's on second place in my hierarhy of album.
THE BIG JUMP
Fine intro. This first solo sound like this was played in some sort of BIIIIG concert hall, fine background echo. What make me boring is the rest of track: guitar samples sound not good. All track is the same without any of rhythm or musical complications. Ohhh and i hate this simple "a a a" vocal sample!
LEFT RIGHT
If there was not this rap vocals it would be good in musical side, but too slow and uncomplicate.
CLOSE YOUR EYES
Fine track. One of this track without any rhythm tracks like ASLEEP FROM DAY or THE STATE WE'RE IN. Some sort of break in massive beats :) Good romantic and well mixing track.
SHAKE BREAK BOUNCE
This is strange track. Loooooooot of bass. I thing this sitar??? or something guitar-like crescendos are very dirting in bad way the track.
MARVO GING
For me the best. Very fine dirty bacground rhythm like this was be played in small, cowboy city :) It remind me the ZZ TOP song from the BACK TO THE FUTURE III film:) I like the 1:47 when this massive sound is going on after short musical break :) and 2:21 fine samples of drums :)
SURFACE OF AIR
Fine track for the end. Remind me very much the Golden Path style. Technical very simple, rocky track.
That's it. All albums sound to me veeery non-complicated, dancy, and monotony. But it has some of fine moments. Well for me fine to take a break from groundbreaking breakbeat and big bit :)

Thanks equinoxe, your thoughts are appreciated and you've brought up some worthy points deserving of further discission - even if people don't agree at least it's food for thought.
I can agree wholeheartedly with you on one thing. Marvo Ging. I'm really in love with that track!! There's so much I love about that, but I have to finish catching up on all the posts, then it's time for me to get my son ready for school.
There's just never enough time in a day!!

I'll just give you my thoughts on Believe for now as I haven't heard the whole album yet...Very eager to do so!
Very powerful song! I really like the intro and after that I think it just gets better...I think that "earthquake bass" gives the track a really dark and powerful feel, which is cool! I love the part at 2:47 when that crazy synth goes even more crazy and the bass is pitched up a little, awesome!
And when the song breaks down and then returns in a blast with all it's power is amazing!
As for the vocals, I think Keles voice works perfect for the track! very firey! If anything, the lyrics could maybe have a little more variations...
The "Haoo!" part is cool... 8)
They just HAVE TO play this song live!
Also, I think that eardrum-piercing sound in the end is a little scary...cool though
I NEED YOU TO BELIEVE!

nice transition i love the boom tas boom tas frsssssssssssssssss then you are on hold tigh london excellent.
*frsssssssssssssssss= with this sound your head almost explode. 8)
Ah yes, that fizzy sound... when I first heard that in my headphones, I was taken aback because it seriously did not sound of this earth. It's very high pitched but it doesn't hurt your ears. What's weird is that, I could feel the speakers crackle ever so slightly against the little nub of my ear that covers the earhole.
it hurts my ears every time. then again i think i have got permanent damage to my ears for all the years of living in the bassbins!!!!
I'm a fuckin doughnut

I love just about all the tracks on this album. The only one I can't really get into is close your eyes. It dosn't have that super calming sound of orton or ... the other sexy-voice-lady. That's, by the way, the only thing this album is missing is one of those two. I think close your eyes really would've been better if they had her. oops, got to go.!!! }:-@

I want so badly to talk more about this record. But my mother is visitng right now and I hate it when she looks over my shoulder when I'm typing!
ah, poor whirly, is she reading over your shoulder....
Tell her this is your boyfriend, and it's a shame she's there while your husband is working late, cuz if not I, your boyfriend, could come over and grab you by your creamy calves and plung into your moist, warm... bwahahahhahaha.
my poor wife.

She's talking politics, overseas trading, and how fucked up this country has become. It's good to agree on something... but I could use a healthy dose of real loud Chemicals right now. But I think that would freak her out.
