Comments:

Because I don't have too much interest in heavier electronic music, I don't find this nearly as interested as Heather Duby's previous album, Post to Wire. Her vocals are lovely on here and the beats and sounds are interesting, but it's just really not my thing except very occasionally. (Neile)
