It's a good song, and that's what I said.

i think it's an uncleared a capella rap sample sped up and
cut up, good luck deciphering the "words"--more like
syllables.

Yeah I know, but I still want to know what was being said
originally.

Dunno what's being said, but this song is the shit. I went
to his show not too long ago. He is damn good live. He
even covered "Do You Know Squarepusher".

Woah, nice.

What does he look like anyway?

It was kinda dark, I couldn't see that well. Normal looking
guy, short hair, t-shirt and jeans. He was smoking
constantly, I couldn't tell if he was lighting cigarettes or
joints. He had some really cool graphic effects going on
behind him the entire show. Random shapes, clouds, and
stuff that looked like it came straight out of an anime.

i just read an interview with him where he talks about this
track..
its all just rearranged syllables..no words
said it was a sort of tongue n cheek homage to what guys
like prefuse have been doing

obviously i'll get blasted to hell and back by peeps for
this, but I bought the latest album and although i like the
ideas he's putting into the tracks, I didn't rate the
overall production of the tunes...i found the sound a bit of
a mushy mess in places which i thought slightly spoiled an
otherwise decent album....anyone else?

i thought the production was quite lush, actually. it makes
the songs go places, adds an oriental feel to it, if that
makes sense

anyway i saw a part of the video for verbal yesterday on
alternative nation (yay! it's on again!). it wasn't quite as
fast as i expected it to be, but the lambo's look nice
either way. no gantz graf, though

yeah, I thought the production was excellent!

I didn't care for the verbal video, a lot more interesting
things could have been done.

El Wraith is also a sweet track.

Personally, I thought the vocal chopping was pretty weak in
that track.

A friend of mine mentioned that he thought that it was
someone saying "Amon Tobin", and upon closer inspection, I
agree.

i really dug this dark ambient background sound seeing live
last year
this release is ace, better than chris clark imo (also has
this ambient thing going on)

i like the sound of broken-up vocals. Verbal gets a bit
tired after the first minute and a half though. Amon
probably ran out of ideas. Still a good track though

pretty much sums up my thoughts. the rest of the album bored
me a bit tho, sounds like he was going a bit too close to
the prodigy sound

It's still one of my favourite electro tracks ever. Very
very funny/funky.
