I'd like to second this recommendation. I am not so big on track 3 (with the "Satan is good..." sample), but tracks 1 & 2 (Halo & Lightworks) are fanatastic. Together they form one track, I think. Halo is a beautiful array of panning pyrotechnic pops decaying into warm white noise. (I like fireworks sounds in music it seems -- check the first track off Nonplace Urban Field's "Golden Star" release for similar cozy explosions.) Lightworks is some crunchy breakbeats over a lush, lush pad. Reminiscent of Wolfgang Voigt's sadly defunct "Gas" project. Oohhhh. Gas was so good.
