A bit more consistent, and helped by its short length, but still not quite there yet. Track 1-2 are very consistent, but after that the album looses track of itself and goes back to the bleepbloopiness that hurt its predecessor. Volume is also weird on here, and some tasty textures go amiss because they were just too quiet compared to the rest - had to play with my volume knob more than I would expect. This is particularly true on 4 which has tasty dronebient textures that are just very, very quiet. 5 feels the most bleep bloopey, even with its noise layers added in the second half, whereas in 3 it's not as bad - the blank at the end of the track is unfortunate though. 1-2 on the other hand are fantastic and sound like what it's like to be on a broken lost spaceship, trying to survive and repair it before the black hole sucks you in too deep - and I'm not saying that just because of the title/artwork. The midtrack on 2 is particularly lonely and lovely. That can't save the record from its own inconsistency though, 3.3
