I wasn't too impressed but once "Giant Sunflowers" hit... ah -- very deep! Purchase this release just for this track alone; amazing.

FROM DEATH TO PASSWORDS WHERE YOU’RE A PAPER AEROPLANE seems Metamatics embracing a new tonal texture: vocals. And they work tremendously well with his general aesthetic: the soaring female singing on “Here to Go” or the spoken word poetry of “What the Birds Overheard.” There also seems to be this movement towards Boards of Canada-like bucolic IDM; “Byeway (Clan)” shows this influence clearly. But Metamatics’ love of funk and electro still shines through: “Colmic Zeus” bubbles and tweets with the best of them; “Machine Wool” puts you through a spin in the sonic washing machine. Without a doubt, “Giant Sunflowers” is the standout here – a haunting, piercing melody underlaid with a complex, textured rhythm – but other tracks hit the spot, as well: the cool, hollow tones of “Vaxhug” or the drifting grace of “A New End.” Strangely, the album doesn’t end with that track, but maybe it should, as “Inart” felt unnecessary. Not this album, though.

i agree, at first i preferred the track titles to the tracks but eventually that track hit me. not an amazing record but 3 or 4 tracks are mind blowingly good
