Hey, I just went back and listened to Far Away Trains
Passing By again... I found it works really well in a
relaxed state, quite lush and meditative. Makes me want to
spread the word.

For those of you who don't know, he sounds a bit like Boards
of Canada with a hint of Tangerine Dream. Almost ambient,
but not quite. Even his minimalist beat programming is
pretty neat although simple, but I guess that's the
point...

What are some of your favourite releases?

Totally love his stuff. It works very well when you're
relaxed, and those who smoke weed here and there: it works
even better. Almost like it intensifies the high.

A lot of music can just give you a headache.

I don't know what poor mastering is, but I think "A
Strangely Isolated Place" might have it. It's a little too
loud, at least compared to other albums, and sometimes I
think I hear what other people might call "clipping".
'Can't really complain though. Great production,
effortless-sounding hooky melodies, and impeccable hair:
these things I expect from this person. First two albums
are like velvety candy, almost exactly!

its doesn't get much mention but his beer gut is highly
underrated.

cool, I didn't know about Ethereal 77, sounds
interesting...

I think most people either like his music or find it
'boring', but I think it all depends on a state of mind. I
didn't really like his music first, but at 3 AM in the
morning it sounded glorious.

The last album was poor compared to the first two.
Production is horrible. I read somewhere that he recorded
the whole album with his headphones on, and that's exactly
what it sounds like.

there. perhaps you have some ass speakers.

the songs from the 3rd album sounds better with big
speakers, don't try to listen to it with small pc
speakers/cheap headphones
