Oval experimented with skipping CDs on 1994's Systemisch, but this 1995 follow-up is where he really gets lyrical with the technique. That may sound like a contradiction, but it's not: The 24-minute "Do While" is a daydream rendered in bell tones and staccato chimes, and the rest of the album is just as hazy and hypnotic, from the radio static of "Store Check" to the rumpled shoegaze of "Line Extension." Rarely has music so experimental sounded so much like a warm embrace.
