Drum solo on the title track causes multiple oh my gods and several contorted seizure faces, for sure.

So dope! One of my fave instrumental synth albums. Quality vibes for days. At the 5:13 mark on Tropical Depression, when it's 2am in the city on the high way, you're going to press onto the gas pedal a little more as you blaze by the neon lights.

Don't understand the average review score of 3.5. This is impressive atmospheric beat work. It's almost like Nicolas Jaar decided to make a beat tape. Some of Scott Herren's best work to my ears.

This is so sick, I could barely make it to 10 words. Just a beast of an album. Needs reissued nowsers.

Would rather have this than East Plants. It cooks with serious heat. Both need reissued. The drum solo on Exchange is just wow. Puhleeeeazzzz repress this.

This is just top notch long-form ambient. I'm not going to give some silly pseudo-academic attempt at describing this. What this does, especially Kansas—my gawd, Kansas, yes—is remove you from wherever you are and put you in a different place. It's... See full review

Some late 90s, early 2000s IDM / glitch vibe going on here to my ears, even if that was not the intention. Good, but prefer Ulla's softer, less angular sounds.

I know it's a vulgar complaint. Quite so. Still, I buy plenty of imports for middle-aged music weirdos and none has cost me $42.

With no US distribution partner for Trilogy, it's $42 (includes shipping) for a USA buyer. WTF is up with the price on this "double LP" that is only 49 minutes long? I lust after it badly, but what am I missing here?

Loooooove it. In the same general vein as the Good Morning Tapes release, but without the ancestral homage (an homage that I can't get enough of). Can't tell how much is improvised or not from the liners, but if this was improvised, holy cow. A+, D.K.!

This is a wonderful release. The music is gorgeous. Incredible that it is a debut. On the same level, IMO, with another full length debut, Colonial Patterns, and we all know how that guy's career has turned out. I do not listen to house music and... See full review

Thanks so much for the heads up, volotom. I slept on the tape and bought the vinyl reissue without delay from Séance Centre after reading seeing your comment. Such a lovely album.

It is to your great detriment to blow off Numero Group due to this one pressing. Most of their vinyl is top notch, dead quiet, and the catalogue speaks for itself.

My fault for poor wording. Boomkat does not charge $35 for shipping. It would cost $35 total. The complaint is that if there is no US distribution partner for the release, those of us Stateside have to suffer (1) the exchange rate (pound and euro are... See full review

Hi JCB91,
I know Boomkat will happily ship to the US, but do they have a stateside distribution partner? Because if not, we in the USA will have to pay $35. Copies of the black vinyl (white sold out) up for sale all over the UK and Europe, but... See full review

IMO, every bit as good as the Huerco S tape on Quiet Time, and probably XYR's best to date. A serious tropical meditation with pulsating synth bass that propels the track from start to finish and carries you the distance. Got it on repeat.
