BoC and four tet are probably my favorite electronica
artists!

There isn't much i can say about rounds apart from the fact
that it rocks my world!

you have to check out "pause" i think it's even better than
rounds. maybe because i heard it first though, that seems
to be the common division in four tet taste . . . whichever
was heard first

For his solo projects, Fridge's Kieran Hebden is a lo-fi
experimentalist who, had he been recording 15 years ago,
would've been cranking out songs on a four-track recorder
instead of a laptop. As demonstrated on his third record,
Rounds, he's one of the few musicians capturing all the
promise inherent in computer science — being able to
summon, manipulate, and mix any sound imaginable. The record
offers something to nearly every audience that could
approach it, with a bit of a groove for electronic fans, an
obtuse sense of music-making for experimentalists, and a
dreamy melodicism sure to endear it to indie-pop fans. The
opener, "Hands," is especially breathtaking; it begins with
a few seconds of drum samples, surgically inserted and
ill-timed, but opens into a warm, melodic production with a
simple frame-kit beat outlining Hebden's guitar-and-keyboard
atmospherics. "My Angel Rocks Back and Forth" features a
music-box melody playing against softly shaded backmasked
guitar and a subdued, grating percussion line reminiscent of
an iron lung. The nine-minute "Unspoken" alternates guitar
and piano playing the same beatific melody, over another
simple beat and tambourine claps. Though Rounds is
experimental by nature, Kieran Hebden's gift for melody and
emotional shading allows his records to be enjoyed by an
audience wider than merely experimental listeners. — John

I like it, but as said I think it's a bit boring in
places... the first two tracks are awesome though...
especially the first, which is my fav from the album!

I saw Kieran play live in Newcastle. Really good. Pity the
'no-fi' fuckers oversold the venue. Oh, and he seemed
popular with the girls.

do yourself a favor, and listen to whole albums instead of
only checking one song ;)
