The scratching (was it trying to create needle on vinyl or radio distortion between stations?) at the start of each track was irritating, but other than that minor fault I don't really have anything too negative to say about this record.
I'm not a big post-rock fanboy, I find the genre to be swamped in a small-minded pretension but this record was good.
The two 20 minute tracks were given the right amount of time to develop and progress, and you could hear the range of influences in the pieces.
The other two tracks were quicker paced but still structured incredibly tightly, every nuance had a purpose and wasn't just there for the sake of it.
A good album to listen to given the right frame of mind I'd like to wager.
I listened to this whilst at the loch (lake) today, and the album fitted the October setting.
I rated good.
