Loved this. Fragments of sweetness made all the more hauntingly sad and beautiful by the ways in which Leyland Kirby obscures, distorts and repeats them. It's a brilliant concept, one of the more creative and powerful uses of music that I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing it. Fave Songs: All you are going to want to do is get back there, Libet's delay, Camaraderie at arms length, I feel as if I might be vanishing

Very different. Pretty cool

As a survivor of listening to everywhere at the end of time, this was light work. 45 minutes of music that's easy to listen to on the surface but sad conceptually instead of 6 hours of noises that make me want to kill myself. While this is more accessible, though, I do think that the long form version is far more clear in its intent. Like by the end of that I really felt like I had gone through 6 stages of memory loss and could tease out the metaphor much easier than this. However, just as a proof of concept this was pretty good. Also didn't know that Libet's delay was what the tik tok sound came from.

I found this pretty boring to be honest. In general I'm just not a fan of ambient. 2 stars.
