Tried to find this album in the XLT discography, but couldn't... tsk tsk! But here 'tis anyway, in it's own pseudo-official topic. If you spam you die, you know that.
I'd say next to Mike P's best stuff, this is my favorite album from the whole Planet Mu roster... yeah, more than that Erin Funck guy. Glitchy beats with pretty melodies is kind of cliche now, but this is as good as it gets. And ''Le Elancholia'' is some of the nicest shit around, the first track also gets me going.
I guess there's a couple of generic tracks (can't remember their titles, fittingly) that sound a bit too technical and sterile, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.
And the first moment of the album makes me think of Sgt. Pepper, so bonus points. Are the EPs worth checking out? They're quite a bit older.

Skyfarmer indirectly killed my thread. I'm telling on you.
What else should I hear by him? I can't find any information on his other releases. Drop some tracks.

I remember shouting at skyfarmer to download this album awhile ago. He acted like he never heard it so one of two things happened when I told him to get it:
1) He already had the album but pretended like he hadn't heard a single track off it.
2) He actually never heard it before and I actually somehow persuaded him to download it
Anyways, its a great solid album. I heard Lexy spent years upon years working on it ( i wouldn't be surprised ), and it shows. If you take a 5 second sample out of Strangelove Offline, it would take me about 3 weeks to create similar sounds and 2 weeks to sequence the sounds. Fuckin a.

''I heard Lexy spent years upon years working on it ( i wouldn't be surprised )''
Neither would I. Very technically impressive stuff. And The nearest work to this 2003 album I can find by him is from 98/99.
