    <reviewbody>I must say this ep took my speakers away... I've been expecting some excellent stuff from Planet Boelex, but this is something special. Especially the second track with italian vocals. But other tracks are also superb. Guitars take me far far away... A terrific  soundscape for uptcoming summer adventures and festivals of electronic music where certain people will perform. Must be played by all means.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>This is, without doubt, one of the finest ÃÂfreeÃÂ albums that has ever come my way. No mistake and no messing, this is out there on its own.
Impressive.

    <reviewbody>Here are four songs that create a rich atmosphere in a short amount of time. Much of the rhythm comes from skillful use of delay, allowing the tracks to get by with just a touch of percussion. No need here to prop up weak material with overbearing beats. Download this for those times you want to just stare at the wall and reflect on stuff like what we are doing here or that girl you never asked out in the 8th grade...</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>..of why the term "IDM" bothers me. IDM has come to gather alot of negative connotations by some of the less educated listeners or listeners with a lesser range of musicial influence and taste. Why? Because alot of it, especially in the early 2000's and late 1990's was accompanied by alot of beat manipulation, dsp tricks, math, and a obfuscated (often humorously so) approach from the musicians.

But, unfortunately, the term IDM has become a catch-all phrase and for anyone to dismiss music simply because this term might be associated with it, simply doesnt know what IDM is. Often people make up for this discreption in their public opinions and personal likings that they'll label something ambient in order to bypass any of the stereotypings.

Planet Boelex here has release a gorgeous, soft, often naive sounding set of songs that is a perfect example of this anti-thesis of what alot of people mistakenly believe to be IDM. 

"Misplaced" is one of the better rhyhmic and melodic EPs to be released for quite sometime through a netlabel, and what better place for it than Monotonik? A blissful and melancholic listen that is sure to stay in your headphones or speakers for quite awhile. Highly recommended.</reviewbody>
