This CD was cryptically credited as "written by Plus One,
produced by Plaid." And while nobody seems to want to admit
what exactly this means, the apple certainly hasn't fallen
far from the tree. It is clear that this album was made
using the same sonic palette as Plaid's other work, although
in a much more remedial form. That means the playful bleep
and blip sounds are in full effect here, but the normally
intricate layers of machine music found on Plaid's albums
are stripped down to...well, the Bare Necessities. While
other artist's experiments with reduction (Richie Hawtin's
Consumed, for example) often result in notable shifts in the
finished product, this album still gives the same chiming,
melodic effect as previous, more elaborate works. One thing
that remains the same is the basic rhythms, which alternate
from trotting 16th notes on "Sticker" and "II" to sparse
breaks on "Arabesk" and calypso loops on "Metro," all of
which are Plaid standards. So the best guest is that Plus
One is little more than a Plaid side project, most likely
tossed together in a limited time frame, with immediate
ideas taking precedent over carefully crafted structure. But
that certainly does not decrease the value of these
compositions, which play out like personal sketches from the
same skilled hands of master artists. (from AMG)

I have this on mp3 but I can't remember ever listening to
it... I'll stick it on later.

the first and last tracks i like the most. or maybe it was
second to last. in any case, overall i wasnt a huge fan of
the record. the moments i liked were quite good though.
