This cd is a very soothing listen: where a soundtrack-like melodic layering builds and abstracts itself slowly within each track. Sometimes very dreamy and sparse (end of track 2) and reminds me of PLod (more ambient though), Tournesol (Koketsu-era, but not dark), and some FAx label releases from a few years ago. Considering that this cd ends on a quirky mix of dark sounds (distorted drums)and an unclear-but-ultimately upbeat melody, I'm curious about which direction his future tracks will go and am looking forward to trading cdrs again... btw, track 3, the title track, is really solid, one of the best on the cd...
