Review by dexterfeng May 19, 2008
Visual ephemeral music for lazy moments; mornings and days where you avoid something's in life. Tackle some others and get private.
Music for rain and sunlight on the windows and a soundtrack for staring at nothing in particular, but gazing at everything particular.
More acoustic sounding than electronic. Fuzzy and noisy in a quiet way where sound becomes parfum and the mix offers a kind of umami and warmth along the lines of a Lucky Cat dumping water on a Boy and the Tree on some Weekday after sleeping Saturday and Sunday afternoon away.
This is a quiet classic and well worth seeking out and letting in to your lazy day play list. Sure to play nicely with a wide range of songs, and around a wide range of surfaces, textures, environments and moments lending themselves to reflection.
Rated 5/5

I bought this when it came out but have only recently got round to listening to it-what a stupid thing to do! Delicate sounds, guitars, bleeps, strings, effects and brilliant percussion sequences. This is reaching the heights most other electronic albums just can't touch-the production and care that has gone into the mix of this album is absolutely amazing. This is definitley NOT just another floaty collection of electronics, its a wonderfully crafted package. If you are looking for something that really deserves your time, check this out. Personally the best record I've heard all year.
Rated 5/5

"Orla Wren - Butterfly Wings Make" is one of the more refreshing IDM albums of this year.
The artist made the best out of the "Sweet and Gentle" type of IDM (Which "Plop" label specializes in), by making his album not too sleepy, but rather a floating fantasy story. This album is very soft and enjoyable.

Like other albums of its type it as Blips, Clicks & Bells - a true "Bubble Land" masterpiece.
