"Recalling his streamlined synth-driven masterpiece Kaputt, as well as his dreamier guitar work on Trouble in Dreams, Ken is a consistent and concise record with no obvious standouts. Sounding like an amalgamation of his previous records, Ken displays no real musical progression or growth for Dest..."  [+]  Reply
