This has been on my listen list for ever. And I did get around to listening to a few tracks of it an I was really impressed. I will definitely get on it soon. I recall it had an absolutely beautiful atmosphere an a very unique space.

Usually from wikipedia, it's just a description for people who don't know anything about the album. Sometimes I throw bits of trivia in there, but it's really up to you and if you're in a rush, it could certainly be left out. The only rule I follow in that section is to avoid giving opinions about the album's quality and to keep it mostly objective.

Figured it was something like that, thank ya. 😄

Yeah this album is basically an icy blast of Arctic noise with some seriously brilliant dub techno underpinning it all. It could easily rank as my #1 if it wasn't for worshiping Aphex for over two decades. As good as anything in the genre.

It recycles very similar sorts sounds on nearly every track...and it works perfectly. Simple beats, very clean drum tone, but with synths drowning in delay and reverb, and lots of thick icy droning/humming/buzzing. The mood really evokes chilly arctic landscapes, with maybe the occasional futuristic scfi city emerging from the ice. Definitely top level electronic/ambient stuff.
