A weird and wonderful album that starts on an excellent ambient track, then occasionally goes into beats which are a lot better integrated here than they were on Sakura. See already the hip-hopey vibe with the piano starting from the midtrack on 2, which 3 continues in interesting ways although it ends on a fadeout. 4 is nicely ambient, 5 is nice with marimbas and stuff with a hella nice unfold later on with the beat, whilst 6 is more dissonant but in a cool way. 7 is nice ambient techno, 8's also good, then 9 goes into vaguely dissonant vaguely jazzy stuff which is cool and dandy, followed up by nice anxious piano on 10. By 11 I paid a bit less attention to writing notes but you can just see this is just a nice, varied album that still flows well, and ends on a strong note as the drums on 12 are super cool. Zero 'bangers', but just all round good stuff. 4.05
