Wow... I wonder how many A&R people lost their jobs on this one.
I personally don't like it very much (that crazy lead synth is mad discordant) but I've been largely intrigued by IDM's slow but sure introduction into hip hop and R&B.
Another example -- Beyonce's sister is coming out with an album and along with the usual suspects in terms of production, apparently Boards of Canada are contributing as well...
