Out September 30
potential red flags:
- he talks about an initial awkwardness, overcome by an inherent genius that arose out of his being like a divine aura- crafted without the use of computers
Could be amazing, could be a tragic end to a good run of albums and singles.

This guy likes to save money when designing covers.

This is really really good. Black Sea, Cupid's Head and No. No.. are simply fantastic. A return to using vocal samples that harkens back to his debut, but with all of the epic buildups and layers that he became known for with the last two albums.

Sooooooo, I found 4 copies of the vinyl at Amoeba in SF. A major fuckup by someone? I've never seen an album out on the shelves so early before. FYI to any SF ILXers.

The Soul Is Quick is very good. If the Loops Of Your Heart stuff was designed for Kompakt fans then this is the one for Border Community listeners - lots of synth drones in the style of Nathan Fake or James Holden, with decayed-sounding beats anchoring it together. It is darker than anything he's put his name to before but still recognisably his work, ie it sounds exactly like how The Field doing a Krauty ambient drone record would be expected to sound.

For better or worse there are no surprises on this album but I'm really feeling it.
