Really enjoyed this, one of the best electronic albums I’ve heard in a while, very atmospheric and layered. One I’ll keep coming back to.

Nice groove to this largely instrumental electronic album. Nice for sitting alone in the dark.

Not sure I quite got this. I liked it OK but it didn't exactly feel like music you sit down and listen to. It felt like the part of the soundtrack where the guy drives silently across country at night, or the closing credits of a noir anime. Moderately perplexed.

It's alright. Like a lot of this type of music, it sort of goes in one ear and out the other. 3 stars.
