The music marries ambient-Aphex swathes of warmth and static with the compositional complexity of Arvo Pärt and the sonic nothingness of the New Blockaders or their heirs apparent Wolf Eyes and somehow manages to make all of these disparate elements work perfectly, complementing rather than distracting from each other. Yes, it is that good. And you know what else? I have listened to it almost every day since I got it and any album with a track entitled “I Love You Michael Gira” should probably be owned by everyone, everywhere immediately. This is music even the grumpy old Swans dude himself might enjoy.
