That's another way of putting it.  There is a fascination with melody, and 
melancholy melody to boot.  But between the shuffling shiftiness of 
Incunabula and the erratic percussions of their last full-length there is 
more than a little reaching for math, at least in principle.

What catches my ear is a tension between the two.  But one may read it 
either way and that accounts in part for their longevity and influence.

Alondra
