(4 out of 5 stars)

"The premise of this album is so compelling: two teams of artists who take turns reworking the tracks until they're finished. Think of it like combat, like a duel. My brother and I sometimes write music this way and the results are always fascinating, not to mention bizarrely hybridized.THX: Experiments... is probably the album I've listened to most in the last year. I got it last Christmas (actually, I got two copies, but that's another story) and still have it in my car at least one day out of three.The standout tracks are 1, 3, and 10. In fact, track 3 (Break-in at Apt. 205) is worth the price of the CD. Songs this bad-a$$ are rarer than rare. Pop this in your car's CD player and I promise you'll feel like you're in a music video.There aren't any bad tracks on here, it's all quality material. I particularly liked the contributions of Swayzak, but then, I'm partial to them.Get this CD if you like: Theorem, Swayzak, Detroit, Berlin, Minimalism, and/or Tech-House"
