But again, it didn't pull my attention away from work in any way. So maybe it will just be so-so.
Aw man, I forgot about this act of his. I only ever got The Unseen but I really enjoyed it for its sonic strangeness. If your experience with this new release is anything like mine with his older work, then it will be a slow, sinister grower.

Anywho, I'm trying to expand my pathetic lack of familiarity in the 'electronic music' umbrella category, so I've got quite a bit in queue. (Much of this is thanks to DJ's electronic education thread, which all of you should read or have already read.)


Some progressive.

A bit of breakbeat.

Flying Lotus- Cosmogramma
A smidge of dubstep.

A little prog trance. (I apologize for the egregiously large image)

And finally some good ol' IDM.
I'm hoping to give all of these a proper hearing and post my impressions within the next few days. The sheer amount of heralded artists and sub-genres in the generic term 'electronica' is a little daunting, but damn it I'm going to be familiar with it all eventually.

I'm a huge fan of The Colour of Spring, which is tad more 'poppy', but I've never really gotten into any of their other material.
