why is Personality digital only? DAFUQ????!!!!!

extra lp sampler maybe? love almost all tunes, sounds like you can listen the lp in one session.

especially Cognitive Dissonance is great!

Cognitive Dissonance reminds me of Instra:mental/D-Bridge dnb before they went off doing other stuff. Sounds about that tempo anyway.

Can't say there's a single tune I don't like.

See I was thinking this, but it confused me, I didn't know whether it was the album mixed with no breaks, or a separate track that like can be looped and you can't tell haha

it pains my heart to say this. big fan of scuba, very big fan of hotflush.
But I've been listening to the samples and I'm not liking this one.

That's not to say there aren't any good tunes on here: Action, Dsy Chn and Tulips I'm liking.
But overall, the atmosphere is too light hearted for me. There's a sort of disco influence I find quite appalling.
There's too much visiting the lighter side of Berlin and there's also some electro borrowed sounds on there I found displeasing.

I'm passing up on this one. New Sigha EP sounds miles better.

I like techno, I like most of the stuff that hotflush puts out, but Scuba is just...boring. Not sure what it is, but...his sound just seems way too sterile and clinical, like you can see the grid in every single track.
If this is the future, it seems highly livable: shiny, cool and comfortably dissonant. Like a low dose of ketamine in an empty, luminous airport hall in northern Japan, eating avocado and waiting for the universe to arrive.

I dig like 2 or 3 tracks on this but for the most part it just lacks balls. I feel like I'm shopping at some trendy place in the mall when I hear this.

The Sepalcure LP is top notch, Personality LP is average at best.

yeah someone said it correctly, this is good background music at best, bar around three of the tracks which are good enough for my standards. I think there's nothing on here an EP wouldn't have fixed.

Having said that, it's been getting good reviews, so I guess I'm missing something.
