One of those artists where I know the name but don't think I have ever heard them. Am not big on orchestral stuff usually, but enjoyed some of this - the bits with more unusual instrumentation particularly. As much because it's not a genre / style that I would normally listen to. Put me in mind of a formal version of some of the more sedate Eno works, but some of it was too classical for me to want to play it through again.

I liked the idea of this album more than the end result. It's quite a pastoral album, painting pictures through the music. That sounds like arty farty shit, but in the absence of any lyrics, then the mind wanders. It gets a little paranoid in places with the jabbing from the strings. Not quite the early morning relaxation I wanted. But different, which is always good.
