higher than that bitch, this is one of those on the constant 4.5/5 flippy

the reason it's not quite solidified for me is something i'll explain in the review, but essentially it boils down (and i know this sounds dumb) to the fact that it's not long enough. you'll see......

at times it's a bit dull, but its minimalism is all part of the charm. just wish there wasn't such a separation between the more musique concrete tracks and the string based tracks.

that's odd you point that as a weakness to me I guess. I had always thought that the transitions between each were fine and seamless

He does mix them abit more on his new one, infra, so you may enjoy that one as well, though the highlights here beat it

mmm. i just noticed that aboretum works as sort of a prequel to the trees. maybe it's just me, but i find a pleasant similarity between the main melodies.
