No, the album's actually a lot worse. Very disappointing, I expected
more of Mark Clifford than this. It all sounds very clinical and
there's none of the gorgeous, complex soundscapes and sonic
experimentation we've previously enjoyed with Seefeel, Disjecta and
Mira Calix. Clifford probably pissed this album in a single afternoon.
At its very best, it sounds like minimalist, sub-par Cocteau Twins
(but not a patch on the gorgeous "Otherness" EP).
