Yeah, this is a really nice album. I had this on constant replay for a few days. A
pretty unique mix of shoegazer style guitar, a sort of non-aggressive/ECMish fusion,
subtle DSP mangling, a bit of IDM and other less easy to classify elements done with
a found sound sensibility. Non-linear, unpredictable song structures and some cool
stylistic juxtapositions. My only complaint is that a bunch of the tunes seem to end
abruptly. Contender for top 10 of 2000.

I'd say fans of Matmos or Savath + Savalas's "Folk Songs For Trains, Trees and Honey"
might also enjoy the Unagi Patrol album.
