This is one of those albums that I like, but don't love, yet I always find myself throwing it on at least once every couple months. Personally, I have started to get back into bands that use more conventional instrumentation to do odd things. The reason why I tend to avoid that type of thing is because I think the potential for that approach to yield something new is limited, and also, because at this point there are countless records that focus on extended techniques, or intuitive playing, or are genre pieces and or highly idiomatic, and as such, where is there to go? I think that Factums do have familiar sounds to an extent, but the interesting thing about this music is it is quite removed from anything that I see live in NYC. I just can't imagine this in concert. Danny had stated Factums were the "new Residents" at one point, and I can see where he is coming from there. I suppose this music would benefit greatly from a crazy mythos or stage show like the Residents have.
