Ajax

Ajax was an electronica band, formed in New York in 1989. I guess they disbanded in 1996?

This is the band's second album, an EP released in 1995.

1. "experience N^o 2": meh

2. "ohm": not bad. I can see it being decent background music at a club or something. But I don't think it needs to be 6 minutes long.

3. "ex-junkie (trent vedder mix)": This is the only song I knew independent of the EP, and it's the reason I bought it. It's my favorite song on the disc, and unfortunately it's also the shortest, at 3:10. Then again, I don't need it to be longer than that. Actually, I'm not even sure you can call it a song, it's more like rapid-fire slam poetry set against a cool beat. Couldn't possibly tell you what it's about. It's kinda weird. But I like it. I'd probably rate it about two and a half smileys. Maybe two and three quarters.

4. "over": This is the only track that I think really sounds more like a song than spoken word. I like it, but I can't imagine I'll remember it.

5. "once in a while": This is the longest track, at 6:43. It's not bad, kinda trippy. But again, I could stand it being shorter.
