poor review. Deserves a much better score. The Battles track is sort of 'krautrock', it's not designed for the dancefloor. i'd agree this is defintely worth revising. it's worth a 5 in my book! The Dj Koze remix has a beautiful dichotomy of sounds too.

Warp does not have limits, is not just electronic music... They have pioneers... is that simple

Who agrees???
