You're right, it's not very IDM. It's pure, droning ambience. 5 tracks,
most of them around 10+ minute range. I'd place it somewhere between the
Plotkin/Harris album "Collapse" from a couple of years back and the
ambient stuff on the second disc of the recent DVOA, but even more
minimal. I dunno, it's just good. :)

All I know is that it'll be part of the split series, and has Pole on the
flipside. Don't know when it's due out, though.
