No shit. Ultravisitor was definitely my favorite release of 2004. I have hooked many stupid friends into the Colorado jam scene with Ultravisitor. For those that find any computer music repetitive and talentless, Ultravisitor is a good first step. I found the infrequency of typical drill'n'bass tracks on this album interesting. Ultravisitor and District Line II were great, but I wanted more. Then, thanks to Tom, we got Squarewindow and Venus 17. Wow, what a fantabulous artist. I can't sing this man's praises enough. I just pray to God he'll come back to the US.

firstly, when the appearance of 'live recordings' into 'studio recordings'
occurs, how much of this is real? it's a really cool effect, and a really
cool idea to do it to this extent, just wondering if anyone knows how much
is true, as i wouldn't be surprised or blame him for just constructing the
experience at points.
secondly, is it Tom who plays what sounds like classical acoustic guitar on
some tracks? jesus. amazingly complex, deftly played and composed. if
that is all tom, that is just absolutely frightening.
ps. i'm actually quite fond of Ultravisitor and Go Plastic.
