"I thought this CD was terrible back when it came out and I still do today. Because it had both mu-Ziq and Aphex Twin as musical collaborators I purchased it without hearing a note, simply based on their stellar resumes. The songs are so beneath what either were doing solo at the time, hardly innovative, and quite embarrassing. I know both of the artists involved often inject humorous elements into their own work, but humor in the tracks here don't work because the music is so mundane. Not a total loss, at least the album cover and packaging was well done and more entertaining than the music contained within."

Skilled messing about

"From the cover you can see that these two legends, i assume Mike is one to be working with "Aphex" Rich (who i know is one), are out to play games. Well from mischievous intent the tunes all form into wholes, sounding like what Henry Mancini might have become if he'd turned to electronica and insomnia. Can recommend Eggy Toast and The Sound of Beady Eyes on a overall very rushy album."

Mike and Rich are awesome

"This album rocks so hard. Its just too much fun. I can listen to this music anytime. I didn't recognize any Richard D. James influence, because its really not that twisted, its more fun. I think only the percussion gave me a clue now that I think back. Its better than a standard aphex twin release. Way better."
