It's fucking brilliant. It's not over done production wise (production
very minimal). It seems like it's all done on one or two keyboards and a
sampler. Don't let that throw you though. It's melodies are the best I've
heard on anything lately. It's way different than most IDM, that it's NOT
A COMPUTER RECORD. What I mean is that the beats are simple, probably
sampled.
I'm blathering but as I told everyone before in my review, that it's one of
my favorites this year. Buy it!
God, if people only saved their money for good current records like this
instead of $700 dub plates on one fucking Orb remix, and filthy price
inflated Skam releases than the world would be a better place.
Buy Goon! You Goon!
