In the spirit of my one-person quest for content in idm reviews, I have
to strongly urge everyone to LISTEN to this before picking it up.
I personally found it horribly cheesy and mostly uninteresting. The
harmonies and emotional content don't come within a light year of Boards
of Canada or the best of Gescom/Autechre to main but two.
In my opinion that is.

P.S. I know there's not a great deal of content in this commentary, but
a) having listened to a friend's copy (a couple of times) and tried to
like it, I decided not to purchase it, so I can't comment any more in
depth, and b) my point here is just to give non-Global-Goon-aware
readers a different opinion of his work, so they don't just go "someone
said it's cool, I'll pick this up."
