Sonic, I wouldn't describe their music from How To Measure a Planet onward as prog. There is some psychedelia in there, some post-rock, some trip-hop, even some krautrock, and yet despite all the genres involved, it is very personnal.

Getting back to Home, Rene Rutten's sound is really drony and thick on that album, though it doesn't get ahead of the other instruments in the mix. If you listen to it closely, A Noise Severe and Home are damn doomy!

Is this third or fourth best? And where does that leave Planet? Asking for a friend.

This just about scrapes third over Nighttime Birds and matches Planet for replay value I think?

Nighttime is my #2

It gets sketchy between this / Planet, but they’re definitely the next two

My holy trio is Planet, Souvenirs and Home, with Planet usually at No. 1 and the other two occasionally switching places yet Home usually being third.

Updating the above ^

ITE is ahead of Disclosure. And this is 3rd over Planet (which may simply be a by-product of their respective runtimes) but yes, I play this one a lot!

Love their sound here. Excellent follow-up / companion to Souvenirs. Great flow and increasingly enduring depth and consistency. I might make it my third tG 4.5(+)

I would understand if you would Demon. It's up there indeed. Like with all of their albums, there's more to it than you would think at first glance.
