I have to say as well, the album cover is absolutely, stunningly, gorgeous. Where did you find it? | ||

edit: I really liked the first part of Goat. But then you let a bunch of noisy flies in. | ||

Uhm, I have to leave in like ten minutes, but based on the first three tracks I think the addition of vocals would really help focus these songs. I mean, I don't know if I'm a trend-hopping wiener but there's not enough polyphonic genre-hopping or reverb 'n' delay twinkling Anglo-Saxon notes against an ambient backdrop to get me listen to Tortoise or Mogwai these days. Let alone Explosions in the Sky, who are like Thomas Kinkade set to music. I only really ride for gy!be anymore and would rather a thousand Cocteau Twins c. 1987 b-sides to another Do Make Say Think album, if only because the tapestry of electronics and distorted guitars are actually draped on a vocalist. So I guess what I mean is that this is like a wedding dress with no one inside it? And if you had a strong vocalist at the centre, you are putting someone in that dress, therefore allowing me and all others in attendance to cry and go, "gosh that's such a beautiful dress"? If you're really committed to this instrumental style of music, which is totally okay, I would ask that you resist the urge to do the Explosions in the Sky slow-rise twinkle-twinkle distortion-pedals-at-3-minutes-in formal arrangement. It would take miracles (with a vocalist or without) to make it not sound really cheap and emotionally exploitative. Eyes roll, etc. (I actually have a friend who tries to predict when songs get loud, not kidding. He's a big xx fan if only because they thwarted him for an entire song.) "still pretty cool" was cute if only because it reminded me of being a sad ten-year-old playing SNES by himself. The beginning of "ovary montage" reminds me of Steve Reich, but unfortunately I have to stop listening and go. Sorry for not sucking up. | ||

I like it, but I dont think it will make my music library. I agree maybe some vocals could help to make some songs memorables. Without some shine I dont know if I will remember the sounds tomorrow. Maybe you need a partner. Ovary Montage is the best song in the album. I think you need some more references. Look at many of the artist of 4AD specially those in late 90's http://www.4ad.com/ | ||

I agree with jon arbuckle about adding the vocals. It would really compliment the general mood. Also, why don't you try playing the guitar less melodic and more abstract, maybe even with distorted chords. Anyways, thanks for the free download. I've been needing some good music lately. | ||
