A perfect description of how I feel also when listening to Seefeel's
_Polyfusia_. To get the full effect of these tracks I think you have to be
intensely tuned into the mix -- the sound landscape is so dense. What heard
from the background sounds looping, when focused is found to be evolving.
Absolutely beautiful to my view.
(I haven't bought the full-length... _Polyfusia_ is just too perfect to be
outdone -- and besides, there's too much else to sample. [In a similar vein,
I'm kinda scared about the rumored new MBV for fear it won't surpass
_Loveless_.]
Peace, 19.
