This album is insanely addictive. It's really tight, complex, almost jazzy post-rock. I especially love the vibraphone. A definite must have for fans of post-rock and similar music.
Entrancing...
The music here is comprised of mostly repetitive themes and looping, droning ambience, but it's also so much more than that. Ethereal guitars drenched in reverb and delay bring out addictive and soothing melodies that work to put you into a peaceful, almost trance-like state. The drumming is extremely understated - the rhythms change, the dynamics shift, and the beats transform, but they do it ever so slowly and with such subtlety that it all sounds like one extended, hypnotic trip. At the same time, the drums are very intricate and technically competent... listen to this stuff through headphones and you start to really notice the magic behind the kit. The bass playing isn't extravagant, but it provides a solid foundation and has it's exceptional moments here and there. Lastly, this album features extensive use of the vibraphone... which serves to give the music a very light, airy, and somewhat dream-like sound.
It's also perfect travel music. Driving across the country? Put this in and watch the roads disappear. Long flight? Pop in some TMP and observe how quickly you drift off into a peaceful slumber. The repetitive nature of the music combined with the gradual dynamic and tempo shifts, along with the "drifting" atmosphere of it all is simply perfect.
Excellent recording. Very relaxing, too.
This DATA is in my head
Great album... all the way through. From the droning of the guitars to the fantastic drums, it's a very captivating album. If you like this album, buy their newer album Confines of Heat. Both are equally good.
