Damn this is pretty awesome. Old me didn’t deserve this, I probably heard Old Dreams, fell asleep and then forgot about all the other greatness here. I remember liking ‘Full of Fire’ (which is amazing), but surely ‘A Cherry On Top‘ or ‘Wrap Your Arms‘ hit home. Admittedly maybe the 2nd half requires more patience, especially off the back of that droning behemoth (which I don’t mind now), but still.

Bumping this to a conservative 4 while I think this through.

One day this went from mild intrigue to ‘wow, this is incredible’ - it’s definitely worth persevering with. Full of Fire is a great gateway track, it’s true 👍

I thought it was a processed flute. A la Jon Hassell

I'm starting to realise there's a fatal flaw with Shaking the Habitual in that it makes other albums sound ordinary by comparison...

I'm off to lower all my other ratings

What kind of mental gymnastics do I need to do to make that sound like a flaw of this album rather than a flaw of everyone else’s

yes, because I was being entirely serious / if you're looking for advice on the matter I don't actually have the answers you seek, but I doubt that's the case

I'm sure you know what's going on here
