Fridge - Happiness

there's an old saying "patience is a virtue, possess it while you can, often in a woman, never in a man" or some variant of that. It's true for me. I am the least patient person i know. I never line up for things, i can't stand waiting for other people and i'd rather go without something that i wanted than waste a second of time waiting for it. Sometimes it's mood dependent, i'm more likely to be impatient if i'm in a terrible mood already. And generally i like to make some form of audible scene in order for other around me to realise just how impatient i am. You know, like a huge sigh, or guffaw, or a muffled "COME ON"! through grtiied teeth. or alternatively a physical sign, like clenched fists, or wide open eyes or throwing something to the ground in anger. The point is fridge have hidden some absolutely gems in between long periods of.., well.., noise. The titles of the tracks should be a warning; Tone guitar and drum noise, drum machine and glockenspiel, sample and clicks they are basically what they say they are, musical pieces created with these instruments or though whether they are in fact "musical" is debateable. There is no question though that amongst it all Five Four Child Voices is a standout track and a few other moments of joy make you twonder whether it's worth sitting through the rest of it to get to. for me it's not.
