just picked this up last night . . . incredible. i could seriously see this changing the face of pop music. imagine the sonic and vocal lushness of portishead mixed up with the more controlled moments of say, autechre, all layered over the laid-back, smoked out funk of swayzak -- but all the more managing to sound like an indie label release (think morr music) than an electronic release . . . it's cohesive, subtle, intelligent, and emotional. highly recommended.
