This album is one of the best examples of the expressive potential of electronic music. Telefon Tel Aviv really shows some talent in crafting some impressively complex songs, but weaving them together in a way that makes them smooth and listenable. The "glitch" aspects of their music keep it from getting mundane. A unique album-soft and chill, but still very emotive.

Compare this to Immolate Yourself and you find a completely different feeling between the two albums. That alone makes me realize the true genius of Telefon Tel Aviv. I like this album better sometimes than the other depending on the mood.

Six Degrees of Apparat’s The Devil’s Walk

By Andy Beta, eMusic Contributor

It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

If IDM is meant for coming down after a night of dancing to trance or house, then Fahrenheit Fair Enough is surely the sort of ambient bliss suited for bedtime. These electronic pieces are big on heavenly synth tones, while light breakbeats (augmented by computerized blips) sputter around below. The acoustic guitar on “John Thomas on the Inside Is Nothing but Foam” lends a refreshing organic element to the mix, fitting comfortably within the breakbeats. Fahrenheit Fair Enough borders on IDM and drum’n'bass at times but, for the most part, it’s a soothing listen and one that’ll bring you down gently. – Kenyon Hopkin
