can't put in words how absolutely beautiful this album is!!!
that remake of nick drake's "black eyed dog" must be one of the most wonderful songs i have ever heard :)
it's such a varied album it makes my head spin. this is surely the best example of imaginative and interesting music that sound awesome at the same time :D
i don't think i was ever so impressed after the first listen..
a review
it's a 2005 release. i must be honest and say i enjoy it more to analord, although it's a totally different thing :)

swag cave sounds like it's an awesome track... i probably need to hear the full versions of the other songs.
ps - ever hear the swans' version of black-eyed dog?

that's pretty much there is to that swag cave song. but those samples really doesn't give you the proper idea...those samples almost make it sound like a pop record or something, there are popish elements but there's just way more to it imo.
i don't think i've heard swans version, i'll look it up though, thanks.

ohh, this is some pretty musac...so mellow. kinda like portishead mood but a bit more 'experimental' i'd say. and not all songs are with vocals..lovely all together though.

it's very subtle, there's only a barely hearable high pitched tone with beautiful vocals (which kind of remind me to sinnead o'connor), some more sounds come in by the end of the track, but also very subtle. i'll send it your way when im home and see you online. (or maybe if you're not online i can send it via email if you've got enough space).

soulseek. perfect service i must say. i'll get the original on ab-cd.com though, they're by far the best site for interesting kind of music and the prices are real low. the only trouble is they're in the states so i have to pay the import tax.

it's quite different to their earlier stuff though, not so much electronic this time, but it's incredibly beautiful to my ears :)

Yeah im not so fond of their earlier stuff wich i downloaded on the ol SS , they have been around for quite some time.
I just hapened to stumble upon some samples from this album and fell in love instantly . I havent even heard any whole tracks yet but i am determined to get hold of the album. Very unusual behaviour for me =)
