notta lotta hard info on this one - a few guys from
the UK making mercifully-unclassifiable dancey music
- quiet sheets of scattery D/B, there are real gtrs,
there's Tim Bowness singing and gurgling over it all
- he's the singer in No-Man, so you know we love him.
Later, the D/B beats are abandoned and the thing
turns into local-status ambient stuff that like does
really fill up space and take yr time and that, oh
the 5th track is nice, but the skimpiest underwear is
saved till the final track, "Estragon" - it's that
formula that never fails = background-ed beats and
bassy rhythms with the kinda feedbacking
keys/electronics sheeting away gently and Bowness
crooning with his head back and the star above him
making himself and me very transported and happy
