In some ways this occupies a lot of the same territory as the music of Gary Wilson. It has a lot of the same charms. There is also a lot of 1980s electronic pop music here. The whole thing has a very lo-fi texture. While this is a mostly successful set, the problem is that there isn't enough variety. The musical style, tempo, vocal delivery and more seems to similar from one song to the one that follows it. That means that songs that work pretty well individually tend to be less effective on this album. Still, people tend to listen to music one song at a time a lot these days. For those fans, that won't be an issue at all. Overall, this is a good set that isn't without its flaws and issues. If you plan to listen from start to finish, it's probably better as music to have on if you are doing other stuff than to pay close attention to it.

Built on a lot of 80s electro-pop textures, there is a moody, dreamy texture to this thing. I dig the echoey elements about it.
