Funny coz I went back to it in the last week or so. I did so with the full intention of listening to the tracks I'd previously thought didn't stand out and weren't doing anything for me, but I just ended up listening to the tracks I already liked the most again.
Clint, which tracks are your favourites?

>> After a good few listens, most of this album just passed me by. In The Field With Brian is a nice intro. I thought the album kind of peaked around this time last year with Monarchs, and nothing else was really grabbing me for a while. I was ready to give up, but I gave it more attention. I really like Margin of Error. Waveguiding in particular is doing things for me. So far, the first half (apart from Monarchs) just bores me and the second half has some really good stuff.

Other than that, I tried to avoid listening to anything from it before it's arrival. Might have to put a coupla' bucks on mum's credit card and buy a joint to enhance the listening experience. I really like Datach'i's drill n' bass of yore, though I'm obviously not expecting anything of the sort. Really just hoping for an old-fashioned IDM album.
