I thoroughly enjoyed this album, but a lot would be lost on anyone who hadn't read Neal Stephenson's SNOW CRASH (on which this was obviously based). I'm a sumerfan myself, and I thought this was actually pretty inspired, and really has the feel of the book. If you haven't read it, you probably won't understand most of the actual intellectual and thematic elements in this album, and the mood might seem off. In either case, it's good hard electronica -- noisy, upbeat, and active. Raises your pulse, stimulates that good old audio cortex a bit ^^;. It's a bit corny, but as in Snow Crash, it's all in good fun, and the corniness is an integral part of the package.
All in all, I have to say: Good Stuff
