This could be a return to the album format. After a while your so use to the flow of the LP, that you go back and pick & choose (you listen more closely). Though it is wise to have the 12" ,it's clearly a possitive thing to have someone actually "listen" again to these moments in time where we invision a future....Nice work Tectonic & 2562.

Some tracks here are more readily accessible than others, and one certainly doesn't want to leave some of the less immediate tracks by the wayside.And Chris, you're probably on to something. More recent listens have left me less fatigued than before, perhaps due to better familiarization with the material. I hear what you’re saying, Dominic.

It's not something I worry about though. For example, I had the same feeling about BJC's 'Structure,' but months later, I find that album has excellent flow, and that its tracks have individual personalities that distinguish themselves. The difference, I think, is familiarity. Over time, as I got to know the tracks and album, the pieces settled into place and everything fit together brilliantly. I think that may be the case with 'Unbalance.' Even if that doesn't pan out, though, tracks like "Lost" and :Love in Outer Space" will secure this record's place in my collection.

Anyways, great writeup. “Given room to breath each tune can be captivating, whereas taken as a whole it can be hard to pick out those great moments without some consideration.”

Nice observation, Chris, and as a whole Unbalance is at times overwhelming — this is definitely in my top 10 favorite electronic records of the year (I wrote about it here, if you’re compelled to have a look), but I often find myself going back to revisit Lost or something for more than one play, and discovering things about the subsequent track that I hadn’t heard before, because I kind of cherry-picked rather than listening to it whole again.
