This is gonna make the top 25. Weird how I love this but for the life of me cannot get into the Holter record.

I know! The complaints I've seen for this I can give to Holter and the praises I can give this. Not quite sure how that works.

I didn't even finish listening to that Holter record. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't very good and I was kind of underwhelmed, so I didn't listen to the whole thing. This on the other hand, wow.

I remember the first few tracks of that album semi-clearly, and then the rest is a blur. Should definitely re-listen, but my impression was that the atmospheres were quite sparse and subtle. This, on the other hand, has sparing arrangements but gloriously dense atmospheres

This is a different style to Holter's record, also I found that one had a way greater amount of meandering nonsense-like filler, especially in the first half. This is easily more consistent.

I actually don't know the rest of the discog and not even Kayo dot, so I rated this for what it is...

Yeah I like maudlin even more than Kayo Dot. I mean I love LD too but they have a few duds.
