"so, you like aphex, you bought geogaddi by the boards of canada, what else is there, try vatican nitez by global goon- its incredible braindance, massively beautiful and weirdly strange. not 1 filler track on this beautiful release."

Decent release from rephlex records

"global goon describes himself as downtempo leftfiel electronic braindance. whatever that means, it's good. the global goon creates another bizarre cartoon world with his tracks, with heavy use on the synth notes. perhaps too heavy. for those a fan of synthy idm, this album is a treat, though it's welcome wears thin at times. of course, this is when he introduces great tracks to catch your attention once again. 'business man' is a track that works hip-hop and fun beat-slaying over the course of the track. the next few tracks are hardly noticeable until 'stan's slaves' hits the track, creating a more uptempo boards of canada type of track, with wonderful hooks and crooks to steal your ears away for the duration. it ends, sadly, on a track called 'globy dubes, champeen of all americky'. this album leaves you expecting more of the tracks, which makes the end of the album a disappointment except for a few highlights. it's almost as if it is all build and no deliver at times. the tracks are well produced, however, and songs in themselves good, but not breathtaking by any means."
