"when i first got cylobian sunset it reminded me alot of i care because you do, by aphex twin, as far as the melodies and beat sounds were concerned, he showed potential to be a very creative force in idm stylized music, Rewind was clever and entertaining to listen to, but the dmx crew remix was better, i got lobster tracks in the frame of mind that this would be another step in the direction of being that force, well, i'd have to say that it is, and it isn't, this is braindance music, which is hard to be cleverly creative, he however manages to keep your attention, although not as groundbreaking as the caustic window series, also by Aphex twin/caustic window/rdj, it still has its high points, so if you're into the vidy gamish melodies of cylobian sunset, or the playfullness of rewind, then this might take some adjustemts to listen to, you'll hear the creativity of chris jeffs, but its focused on braindance this time around, and done rather well"
Wacky and fun

"This EP from Cylob consists of several short titles (adding up to just barely over 20 min) which buzz and sputter along like an oven buzzer on a dancefloor. It's fairly humorous and shouldn't be taken too seriously. If you're looking for quirky techno with a sense of humor, Lobster Tracks is for you."
Post '80's electro cheese

"If you enjoy the sounds of kraftwerk, or any other early '80's electro, you'll love LobsterTracks. It's cheesy melodies and hard electronic beats confirm a feeling of nostalgia about doing the robot and moonwalking."
