I was disappointed with this album. YOu get all of the four tet videos but they are pretty bland and boring. "She moves she" is pretty funny, and the best on the dvd.
The cd is not that good at all. The single for "my angel rocks back and forth" is nice, but the remix and other tracks are so-so.
Four tet should have waited to do the cd/dvd thing that everyone else is doing, this is a waste of money. 2 stars-1 for the single, and 1 for the "ok" video. get pause and rounds.

Four Tet - My Angel Rocks Back And Forth, Mar 10 2011

One of Four Tet's best tracks off ROUNDS gets the remix treatment on this single. The original MY ANGEL ROCKS BACK AND FORTH is all delicacy and thudding bass, a study in contrasts. Icarus, however, makes the track even more abstract, trading some of the aching moodiness of the original for sliced up Chinese-vocal samples and drum 'n' bass beats. Isambard Khroustaliov's blend of "First Thing/Chia" takes the abstraction even further. But the tonal, ambient "I've Got Viking in Me" brings things back down to earth... sort of. "All the Chimers" is a music box thrown into a vacuum and slowly winding down. This single definitely rocks back and forth!

Like my title says, the original track is amazing, but the other tracks on the disk didn't wow me. This was a little disappointing since I like so much of Four Tet's work. Nonetheless, if you want to give the crowd something different and bring it down for a minute, this is the track!
