Lab Funk, Martin Iveson's second album, was more carefully produced than 1999's That Something, but it felt overstuffed with familiar ideas. While similar efforts like Rae & Christian's Northern Sulphuric Soul and Baby Mammoth's Swimming were more believable than the sum of their parts, Lab Funk lost its momentum early with constant seven-minute cuts that focused too heavily on repetitive bass and confused relaxation.
