This album deserves a topic! It's just amazing. One of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard! It sounds like Slowdive on the ancient synthesisers of Tangerine dream, like Sigur Ros and Múm together, playing with Thompson twins samples.
like Air meets Styrofoam. like endless sublime landscapes covered with snow...
Pitchforkmedia says: "Simply put, this album sounds absolutely huge, its relentless attention to detail eclipsed only by the stunning emotional power it conveys. For fifty-seven glorious minutes, an impossibly intricate tapestry of buzzing techno synthesizers, distorted electric guitars, cheesy drum machines, and subdued vocals generate a sense of bodily movement through a landscape of beauty, disappointment, glory, and decrepitude. Dead Cities is an album that not only envelops you, but affords you room to explore its vast expanses of beautifully constructed sound."

the only problem is that its on the brink of heavy cheesiness, theres some definate cheese in a lot of the tracks but nothing too bad, the good moments are definately amazing though, great stuff, with the cheese aside.

"Gone" is a beautiful track. I named it my favorite song that other thread. That song is pure sex.

as far as i can tell this hasn't been released in the united states...
is this correct?
i can't afford to buy any music anyway, but based on the buzz over this album i'm very keen to hear it.

This album finally did get a release in the USA with a bonus disc.
Anyone who likes DCRS&LG should really check out the latest single from it - "America." It has a track that was only released on the vinyl version of the album and 2 great B-sides.

That's weird, Moby vs Air sounds a lot better in practice than it does on paper.

Rascal! That must be it, since it sounds nothing like Moby + Air.
