Ah - the new String Theory is (IMO, of course), a stellar record which
should be bought immediately. The grain of salt with which the following
statement should be taken is that I am a full time grad student and full
time worker, so I don't really get to hear much of the music which travels
through my hands - sometimes until far after the fact.
The statement is that I feel "Radiovalerian" is heads & shoulders above
much of the paint-by-numbers electronic music out there these days. This
one seems to reach just a bit deeper for a rich sound palette (and I love
good "sounds") and a bit farther beyond the crowd when it comes to drawing
in influences. If I have to make a particular comparison, it would be to
Bola. If I can get general, I'd say it moves toward the mid/late 90s
ambient/idm crisscross period - lush and layered.
Again, I don't get the chance to listen to nearly as much as I'd like these
days, but this found it's way into my CD changer and I'm having a hard time
getting it out.
