interesting album. Not nearly to the level of his earlier works, but also in a totally different style, focusing more on atmosphere than beats, and using modified field recordings rather than his usual vinyl sampling and implementation of jazzy breakbeats. Definitely not his best, though I quite like the musical direction he took here and wouldn't necessarily mind seeing him continue on this path. Solid album overall
