My Review : 

Constantly morphing and changing, these are melodies for those who grow bored quickly. I listen to One Word Extinguisher and think to myself, "electronic with a hip-hop base". That's what this essentially instrumental album does, and Prefuse 73 does it well. Each song gives off its own flair and spark of creativity, and they are generally kept short and condensed which is the perfect way of going about it. Rife with energy and always going, this is upbeat music for those on the move. The cut and paste feeling is fluent and lets the layers of sound breathe freely. Manic samples only help to round this out. Some of them are a little too much, but for the most part it's spot on. At times it's more glitchy and at other times it's focused more on grooves and atmosphere. At times I sense an Autechre influence which wouldn't surprise me since both artists are on Warp. There is a lot to analyze as well, since One Word Extinguisher is packed full to the brim with tracks. Luckily it stays coherent and doesn't fall prey to keeling over in a stupor of boredom.
