Love the percussion on this album. The vibes set a nice tone throughout the album. The percussionists play well of everyone in the band and the electronic aspect of this album mixes well. I'm not sure how they made this work but I'm happy they did.
For once, Tortoise's artsy ways manage to pay off for a whole album! You don't have to be a bonafide critic to appreciate the tranquil atmosphere on these tracks. TNT really is the last title I could imagine giving this album.
Trippy, mellow, jazzy, warm, and, most importantly, beautiful. I discovered Tortoise via The Sea And Cake, and it really is their more absent-minded, meandering (in a great way) twin.
