what? "Full of hope" is not how I would describe this record. More like
"Full of pins and needles in my body with ants crawling all over me and my
ex girlfriend with a big butcher knife cutting me in places I'd rather not
mention." This is _the_ darkest record I've heard in the Ambient genre; I
find little "Hope" here, and upon listening to it for the first time, had
to take 25 pills of Prozac just to feel halfway normal again.
With track titles like "I feel cold inside because of the things you say"
etc, etc this man seems like he is in a void, a feeling that I thought I'd
felt until I listened to "truth..", but then realised that his pain and
suffering is a lot darker and scarier than most all else I'd experienced.
all imho of course...
