| At the same time, it's the coolest and most chillaxed Swedish thing sice an Ikea recliner - but it's also some of the most effective and brilliantly done ambience I've heard. Excellent. |

If music can sound stoned, then on a scale of 'kinda stoned' to 'TRIPPIN BALLS', this is 'duuuuuuude'. Other than that, and that is clearly makes my brain go a bit mushy, this doesn't accomplish very much (apart from sounding whacked out
whilst having few total absences of noise). |

| A word to those that may initially be put off as I was by the creepiness, both generally and especially in the lyrics; persist. It helps to think of some of the shorter tracks, such as "Welcome to Bangkok" as not so much songs in themselves, but connectors, plot devices of sort (not to play down how good they are). Yes, it's hard to see through the offputting stuff initially, but once you get over that, you realise just how gloriously good this is; it is very much worth it. |
