OK, this album is really, really good. I had heard his name dropped a few times over the past few years, but I always cringe at anything dubbed "modern classical". But this works for me. The strings, ambient sounds, and melodies are really beautiful, and the whole album is just effortlessly easy to listen to from start to finish. My only gripe is the spoken word bits, but thankfully they only tend to last a few seconds.

As it happens, we were the only ones who didn't have a beard. Even the women had wicked goatee's.

I'm certainly gonna try. My tutor from uni digs the freaky stuff too, so if I can get a lift down with him, i'm sorted.
I really want to go to that UR night. Perhaps even more so than the AE event *gasp*

i just gave the album another listen. very short but sounds like a soundtrack to a good but a bit sad film.
i'm gonna check his previous albums, but not "blue notebooks", as i've read it contains spoken word/recited poetry. that's not my thing. i'll skip to "memoryhouse" instead.

I like his music because it can be pretty and sad but never so sad that I feel unhappy.
