| 2.5 average | Gary STAFF | December 8th 20 |
It's been a while the last time when I heard something I felt so divided about: part of me liked it, other hated it. The more ethereal and spacey sections felt really nice, but when it got more noisey I often felt it was too much. It sensed the potential in this, however I couldn't enjoy it that much I hoped so.

I'm kind of unsure about my rating because I havent heard his other stuff in a long while (and just similar records in general) so the comparison isn't the most fair, but this feels like his peak so far. Lots and lots of beautiful gritty textures on this, with delightful and quite subtle use of grain and noise. In contrast, acoustic moments like the strings the gritty 2 (starting off on really cool menacing textures) eases into towards its end, or the soft piano sounds the album ends on (v nice although feels like it had a little bit more of potential in it) are magnified in beauty. The album starts off strong with 2 but especially 1, a fantastic intro track that kind of dies into nothing but features some really cool vocal parts morphing into droney organs and gritty glitches - superb, wish it had a better conclusion. 3 is more on the soft and pretty side although there is still a bit of wall of sound in places. 4 has cool textures but not as much of a compelling tension to it, however for once its conclusion is quite cool with the spatial synths. The first half of 5 kinda lost me despite the cool texture here and there, but the second half brings the attention right back up with a cool ominous wall of sound before the peaceful 6 ties things up nicely. An inspiring album for aspiring ambient producers, if anything. 3.75
