Reviews & Discussion
Be prepared for full-on phasers,synths and melody.That in mind this is an awesome lp which serves as a refreshing change from the increasingly abstract trends of ambient / electronica.The track 'run into flowers' is for me the best of the lot,just superb.
A great mix of Air (but less immaculate pop, and more electro), Rob and things that don't exist yet. Their songs are sometimes on and over the edge of bombastic, often stringent, filled with disturbing samples, swollen keyboards ('In Church' almost sounds like it's name implies) and frail drifting vocals.
But melody keeps the upper hand, electronically faceted, sounding half warm, half cold.
