Emeralds is a bit too heavily compressed for my tastes. I know that's specifically what they're going for, but I love dynamic range and if I do listen to lo-fi music, it's usually field holler or similarly acoustic works.
But I'm digging Mark's stuff and will definitely look into it further. The guitar loop work from "Let Us Be The Way We Were" instantly brings back a memory of a major ambient techno club track from the 90s... it had a pitch shifted throat singer (but not the sample from Chill Out) and an islander melody quite similar to what Mark is doing in this track. Could have been a major artist like the Chemicals, Moby, The Orb or Orbital, but I can't put my finger on it.
Thanks for the suggestion!
