While this is an album created with a whole lot of technology (especially looping), it's wonderfully human and enjoyable, with even the most technological elements such as the EWI (electronic wind instrument, a non-acoustic sort of sax) brimming with emotion. Standout tracks are the hilariously name Nostril Waltz, the appropriately moving Move Italia, and Cute Furry Thing, which is anchored by a creepy baby voice (really a pitch-shifted adult voice - Per's? - which appears elsewhere too). Though there are many directions taken on the record, from mouth-generated beatbox rhythms to impressive solo sax or EWI excursions to a faint reggae, much of it could be compared to a more earthy Massive Attack, particularly on tracks like "Slip Out Of It". Recommended.
