dunno who recomended this album...i'd like to thank to who
ever did though :)

lovely stuff...a bit cheesy coz of melodies, but cheesy in a
good way.
i'll post this review, coz some of people are lazy to open
links, and it's a fairly short review, so:

Every once in a while, you discover an album that you can't
stop listening to. No matter how many times you play it, it
never gets boring ... Pillow Talk is definitely one of those
albums.

With this debut album, Plod joins the growing number of
Scandinavian artists who are releasing quality electronics:
Lackluster, Dub Tractor, Bauri, ...
Although it's sometimes said the new league of electronica
producers lack a unique sound, this is surely not the case
with Plod. Of course they build on the foundations made by
pioneers -like Autechre, Plaid, Boards of Canada and Aphex
Twin- but if you ask me there are some significant
differences.
For one thing, they really concentrate on the melodies. By
placing bright, delicate melodies on the foreground and
putting the rhythmic structures somewhat more to the
background. This adds a real lush and airy feel to the
music. It just sounds different, and I love it!

Not that it matters, but there are some pretty weird/funny
track titles like: "What happens to the hole when the cheese
is gone", "That stench again, it must be wednesday", "Which
is stronger - karate or the tiger?"

I just got hold of this and it's sweet. Very Plaid-ish but a
bit BOC-ish. This is the only Plod album?

Great album. I first heard something from this back in the
early 2000s on like MSN Radio or something. Really enjoy the
melancholic melodies of "What Happens To The Hole When The
Cheese Is Gone" as well as "Which is Stronger - Karate Or
The Tiger?".
