OK, here's the problem with these guys. Imagine the polar opposite of Philip Glass' "Music In 12 Parts". In that piece, any 10 second piece sounds pretty good, but you go crazy because it NEVER changes. In The Ruins, any 3 second piece (well lots of them anyway) sounds pretty good, but it's CONSTANTLY changing to something that's unrelated. It's not complex, it's unstructured and random.
They are pretty tight. But, it's not music, IMO.
