This record as well as Rodan's Rusty are really important records to post-rock, I can really get behind both of them.

One of the most stunning albums I've ever heard. Purely hypnotic from start to finish. I love it.

I was so excited when I found this at the store a few years ago, that I rushed home, cranked the volume up of my stereo and started doing stuff around the house.
And then Breadcrumb Trail.
The part where he goes up and down on the rollercoaster scared the shit out of me ! I had to run over to the stereo, turn the volume down and sit through the rest of the album terrified.
Top 10 albums of all-time. Masterpiece.

It's a stunning album that truly had its own completely unique identity in my experiences org LPs. It feel hypnotic and amazingly dark and claustrophobic on the extreme. The guitar is so so so sooooo intense and mathematical and is really dynamic.
I love this album. It's nearly a top 100 album for me. Will have to revisit it.
And yes I will take your recommendation on Rusty by Rodan, G Man.

I really like it. It's strange though. Post-rock and everything related are still way out of my comfort zone. I'm feeling this album has a huge enjoyability margin that I can't reach yet, if that makes sense.
