I'm not sure it's _that_ much like Oval, though they do have
in common the ability to "imply" melody in the midst
of a torrent of glitches & clicks without stating it outright.
Anyonw will till you I'm far from being a big glitch
fan, but both these artists find ways of being traditionally
musical while throwing out the entirety of traditional
music structure, if that makes sense. I haven't
heard "Child's View"

It's _not_ a Gary Numan cover, it's an original track, and one
of my favorites from last year. It's basically just a cool,
quirky instrumental pop song, with distant echoes
of Krautrock.

This is a really sweet song. If you've heard some
of the recent poppier stuff coming from
some of the eggheads in Chicago (Aerial M,
Jim O' Rourke, etc.) you'll be in the right
ballpark. There seems to be a bit of a movement
towards grafting some of the (ulp -- terminology)
post-rock influences onto things that resemble
three-minute pop songs, and, surprisingly, it works very well.
This one has some nice Brian Wilson style harmonies.

Thank you for the encouragement!
