The problem is context. The tracks Modernist and I like lose appeal amidst the rest of the LP. They would shine much more if they were placed between well-structured and purposeful, much leaner material.
Yeah probably. It feels over-produced in places - all those rich, heavy arrangements. It reminds me of 'No Other' in that respect.

Superb reply, because I pondered including No Other in my little list of purportedly coke-influenced LPs. In the end I didn't, because at present I am trying to let it fully sink in, with lots of concentration on my part. It is rich, very rich - is it 'over-ripe'? My verdict is still out. There is a lot in it. Will it finally 'gel' with me? Don't know yet.
