i just want to second this.. 


Ian O'Brien - Gigantic Days - 2x12" - Peacefrog - pf083 
Since he's producing Ian O'Brien pretty fast build up an own sound, through
his releases on Ferox and 4th Wave. Gigantic Days is his second full length
after Desert Scores, and again he takes it jazzy, but as less others still
with a very futuristic sound. And that's much to less said. He does it in a
perfect way in between, making it easily one of the better albums this
year. Somewhat reminding to Planetary Folklore by As One, but not that
diverse. Using smooth jazzy rhythms together with fine smooth warm strings
and other sounds. Unique, and highly recommended!
