It's worth buying.

"The song "Confusion" is by far the best on this CD. However, the more I listen to it, the more the other songs grow on me. Worth buying, even if you might want to skip a track or two while listening. All songs have a pretty good beat, WITHOUT sounding like assembly line techno-rage!"

If only all music was this good

"Yes I know it sounds like Kraftwerk, but this is a piece of class. Standing head and shoulders above the flood of techno/electronic music out there, the music on this album has an atmospheric, spacey, almost delicate feel. The sounds are more reminiscent of very early 'techno' than today's BANG BANG BANG, but have a dreamy futuristic quality which make this a real gem. Much better than the more obvious but still great second album (Retroish)."

Electronica with good acoustics

"This is the only CD I've bought after sampling at a usually worthless Best Buy listening station. It took a while to grow on me, but its epic length and fair share of near-classics would not be denied. There's some fluff in here, but as I understand it, this was only a half serious effort. Deranged is one of the simplest tracks in existence (yet one of my favorites), and how should one critique a track called "Sonar Blow Job?" 1187 is a mockery of the entire genre, but it's catchy as heck.I'll agree that Confused is among the best, but Sci-Fi Memento's span of the entire synth spectrum is trippier. It has a gorging, lazily intense allure that kinda draws out the electronic soul of the disc. If they put any effort into a track, it is good, and it's refreshing to hear techno without the overused wall-thumper. The beats are far more varied than those of standard fare. I'll make no bones about it--this is washingmachine music, and it has a narrow audience. This member of it, however, would be content to do several loads a day."
