Just arrived from Ann Arbor's Ghostly International label - the sky blue limited edition reissue of Telefon Tel Aviv's majestic debut, Fahrenheit Fair Enough.*Fahrenheit*was originally issued by Chicago's Hefty Records, and fit smashingly alongside their other downtempo and IDM recordings.*

Ghostly International is home to Tycho, Gold Panda, Com Truise, and other crafters of what*Sundae*Club playfully dubbed*"Technostalgic*Tunes". And*Fahrenheit*is no exception. Here, Telefon Tel Aviv expertly*weaves*together sparse melodic fragments and the occasional jazzy licks with intricately complex abstract glitch patterns. What results is a marriage of the warm, nostalgic instrumentation one would expect from a band like Boards of Canada seamlessly fused with the atonal mechanical rhythmic constructions of Richard D. James.*It is a wonderfully satisfying record which*warrants repeated listenings both active and subliminal.*

This limited edition release also includes a digital download which features additional*Archive '99*material capturing more of the best sounds the artist has to offer.

A review from the BBC called the album,*"Gorgeous, yet completely devoid of cliché... a quiet, unpretentious beauty of a record."*Fahrenheit Fair Enough is certainly some of the finest downtempo IDM music released this year.
