This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Winnipeg’s premiere post-rock brainiacs return with another instrumental collection of tone poems and sonic-art collages, seamlessly and artfully fashioned from hypnotic loops, clattering percussion, Frippertronic guitars, exotic instrumental flourishes, droning ambience, ominous implications, glitchy textures, glacially paced arrangements and even one impressively repurposed Michael Jackson groove. You’ll feel smarter just for listening to it.
