I think it's wonderful. Top album of '02 so far for me :-) and I'm sure
it'll be on my top of '02 list (I guess it actually came out last month,
but hey...).
Should appeal to fans of things like Oval, Takemura, Fennesz and early
American minimalism. Very melodic in a fractured way and actually full of
emotion, especially on the last track. Sure it's a "laptop" album, but the
majority of the sounds are pretty much unprocessed samples of acoustic
instruments.
Thumbs up. :-P
