Finally! I’ve been shocked by the underwhelming response to this record which, both sides included, actually surpasses ‘psychotic’ for me. Was lucky enough to score a demo pressing of this earlier in the year from the homie himself–and I agree with Todd, no antics here, just a severely earnest musician–and thought this record would catapult alex into the dance music upper stratospere. I feel like this is a step up from the ‘just ask the lonely’ era, as well as a logical continuation. More soul, more streamlining, more excellence!

i wouldn’t describe what he’s doing as zany antics, there’s something far more real and in your face about what he’s doing.

Am really feeling this tune, much more so than Psychotic Photosynthesis which I thought was good but not as good as a lot of people seemed to think.

yeah, it’s a solid release and quite different i think from his older stuff – slicker, almost more italo sounding. the drums are far less distorted than the oasis/”just ask the lonely” era… kinda prefer that stuff but different strokes for different folks and all that

i never know what to expect from omar’s stuff, sometimes i think he’s the one guy who could make a song that every human being could connect with.

Also, I’m not really sure how to say it. but it simply begs for someone to do something with that melody, the part in the beginning where it goes “acid” at the 1min mark sounds so eclectic!

Yeah, good call on this, Nate. “Gummed-up” is a great description of the sound. Oh, and if you purchase $20 of vinyl from his site, free shipping. I’m there.

Agreed – this is a great record. I didn’t know I could get an Omar-S Ice Cube tray!
