As the title implies, there is much more here than meets the ears upon first listen. These sounds are born of an exciting alliance between Matthieu Maire (formerly Celluloid Mata) and Philipp Münch (Synapscape/Ars Moriendi/TRG). A few familiar elements of both musicians’ other efforts can be found in this endeavor. However, this is definitely a new and exciting direction for the both of them, focusing more on composition and structure than either has done in any of their previous incarnations. A surfeit of sounds and experiences are laced throughout these fourteen adventurous tracks. The disc begins with a somewhat ominous feel on the opening track, "Fallen Dice," but soon breaks into a much more accessible, infectious tone. "Gws Hearse" employs some familiar sequencing with an added kick. "Huevos de Oro" blends interesting vocal manipulation with oddly transmuted instrumentation over hyperkinetic beats to create a highly attention-grabbing mix. The creative sampling and catchy sounds of "Hipsters" demands repeat listens. The guitar work on "Ish Galil" is an interesting departure for this pair, known more for their work with rhythms and synths. "Rip Rozz" once again calls upon Münch’s vocals to deliver a good, solid punch. This disc is a pleasant diversion, and certainly unique among the crop of rhythm-oriented releases that have come to define ant-zen over the past couple of years. Slightly disorienting at first, but ultimately a ride worth lining up for again and again – highly recommended!
