Released originally in the year 2000 on Road Cone, and later reissued by ATP Recordings in 2005.[1] The album is highly improvisational and, features among its track list free jazz inspired reworkings of traditional songs such as Amazing Grace. In addition to the Folk sound, the album also incorporates elements of drone, post rock and gospel. The album was met with critical acclaim, especially on its reissue. BackgroundThe album is often noted for its interpretation of Americana. "Amazing Grace" is an extremely improvisational take on the Christian Hymn of the same name. "Go Down, Old Hannah" is based on a traditional prison work song,[2] also notably covered by Blues singer Lead Belly. The songs "Native Einstein" and "Madame Curie" both take their name from famous physicists. Founding member of the band, Tom Greenwood, has mentioned in interviews that the band played together formatively in a rented house on Michigan Ave.[3] ReceptionThe album has received high critical acclaim. Upon initial release, Brent S Sirota of Pitchfork Media gave the album a 9.2, stating that it "presents a dim and unsettling archaeology of American music" and calling it "the first unapologetically brilliant piece of experimental music I've heard this year."[4] Pitchfork later placed it at number 20 on their "Top 20 albums of 2000 List".[5] Charlie Wilmouth of Allmusic Gave the album 4 and a half stars and compared it favourably to the works of Captain Beefheart and The Dirty Three.[6] Upon its reissue Drowned in Sound gave the album a 9 out of 10 with reviewer J.R. Moore calling their version of Amazing Grace "the greatest version of that song ever recorded."[7] Mike Pace of Pop Matters offered a much less enthusiastic review, giving the album a 6 out of 10, saying "Fig.5 is pretentious, at times unlistenable, but often strangely intriguing".[8] Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album a 3 out of 5 as the band can "craft instrumental songs that are interesting, but not interesting enough to make an entire album consisting of their weird, sometimes intolerable noodling."[9] Track listing{{tracklist| title1 = Analogue Skillet | length1 = 4:06 | title2 = Native Einstein | length2 = 6:33 | title3 = Your Cells Are In Motion | length3 = 9:09 | title4 = Go Down, Old Hannah | length4 = 6:53 | title5 = Amazing Grace | length5 = 10:35 | title6 = Beautiful September | length6 = 10:13 | title7 = Chiapas!
