"a short but sweet record that totally blew my mind upon hearing other kid606 records like down with the scene and dont sweat the technics, i dont thinnk ive ever heard "ambient" music done so well, all kid606 stuff is pretty off the hook but this is probably my favorite."

"Having listened to alot of electronic, IDM, etc for years now it's interesting to hear what the new "it" guys are doing. Kid 606 has been talked about all over lately, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly why. An album like "down with the scene" is more like a good p*ss on the whole electronic scene, and thankfully so. Alot of abrasive tongue in cheek sorta songs. Almost a little too sly and going over the top towards the unlistenable in mockery.Soccergirl is just the opposite. Working well within the genre, and being quite soothing. To call it ambient is playing it down, since it scrapes at the glass walls that define "ambient music" with long metallic nails. While not typical of his junkyard genre-bending styles, this EP is refreshingly different and can even be played out-loud without forcing the general public to their knees with distortion.Pick up the Jake Mandell "Football" CD also, in the same line."

Oh my my

"Somebody get the kid a glass of wine!!Cheers!! This is brilliant!
takes me back to 1983 when was about 5 playing soccer in my granparents yard and accidently kicking the ball into some thicket and having to rummage around looking for it and feeling soooo free while doing so."
