I liked it. Very vibrant and lively music and vocal delivery. Maybe a whole album of this exact sort of voice antics might be a bit much to take, but I doubt that's how the entire album sounds.
I wouldn't be opposed to hearing more from this dude.

I don't listen to much electronic music that gets this far into a certain end of it. The artists I like are more in the indie/electronica/pop end of things. Like Barbara Morgenstern, Depeche Mode and such. I've got a Holly Herndon album that I like, but that's a very different sort of electronic music from this track here. The only thing I have that this track might remind me of musically is the all instrumental Martin Gore album "MG".
Maybe I find Deadmau a bit too straight forward in his sonic stylings. I feel like I'm trapped in some old Playstation 1 3D sci-fi shooter, with an announcer informing me in a gruff voice that I've just gained the kill rank of "OVERKILL!!!!" or picked up an "ENERGY SHIELD!!!!".
Not bad. I kinda liked it a bit for what it was, but I'm not seeing much of chance that I'll be listening to full albums of this stuff in the future.

Well, the joke's on you, because I pretty much thought this was really good. Strong Francoise Hardy vibes going on here in more ways than one (both her voice, singing style, songwriting style and those melodramatic movie orchestrations). I could see myself picking up an album, even.

And I did, even though it's not even 30 minutes long.
I'd be super interested in hearing what it is you find appealing about it. Both Frownie and any other members who know it or are willing to give it a listen.
