This track feels incomplete. Those warm theremin sounds could have been off a chiptune and weren't really driving the song enough between those kind of schizophrenic drum beats. I think he would have benefited from deconstructing the song completely and played to the strengths of those drums, something like Stray & Frederic Robinson's Thumbprint which I've been listening too compulsively for the past month. I think you may be someone who can appreciate this track!

Fair enough. This is his first solo album, so I'm not surprised that it feels unfinished. I didn't notice mostly because I was so focused on the drums - he is, after all, my favorite drummer.

That's an awesome track that you linked, although I'm not sure about the vocal manipulation stuff going on. It feels almost too rough.
