Ringer
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend A 32-minute, four-track excursion into the kind of wide-open spaces you might find if you set out to make techno with an Afro-beat / krautrock sensibility.

- I have to disagree with the previous review - I think this is the best Four Tet release since Pause. It IS techno, but a most excellent example of the genre, imo.

- I wish I had listened to this album before I had bought it. I'm a pretty big Four tet fan, and I didn't think I needed to listen to Ringer to ease my fears of not liking it. That was a mistake.
This album is straight techno. I'm not saying that techno is bad, but it's not what Keiren is known for, or what he excels at. It's incredibly repetitive, and minimalistic.
If your into the techno scene, you may like this. If your checking out Four tet for the first time you may want to check out Rounds or Everything Ecstatic. Lastly, if your a Four tet fan, beware. - 2008-06-03, 7 of 11 people found this review helpful, Rated:
