"i felt compelled to defend this great disc after reading the last review. i don't consider myself someone who fancies "avant garde" all that much, but this falls well into line with other downtempo experimental. if you like lamb, tricky, boards of canada, aphex twin (the quieter ambient stuff), and especially ennio morricone, then give this one a try. don't expect any driving beats - this isn't an album you dance to. it's one you put on while you contemplate life.



although there is an element of glitch, they add floating piano riffs, horns, ethereal female vocals, and other organic elements to create a spooky, haunting soundscape. i got this back in 2000 as a promo when i worked at a music store, and have held onto it all these years and come to appreciate it even more. i've since sold many of my lamb, tricky, and other albums of that era but have kept this. there is a great balance of open space to music, letting the harmonic dissonances linger. their brilliant sense of timing is what allows the disharmonies to work so well."
