His previous albums seemed a bit amateurish for me, but this new one is quite melodically rich and spacious. Definitely a wonderful surprise on the techno front. A bit of an expensive vinyl purchase at 4x12", though.

Love this album. I think I know what you mean by amateurish ("Escapements" was, uh, bleepy although I really liked it) but his newer stuff is more lush and flows better, even though the track lengths are getting longer.

Love this guy. Still think his high point is the title track from 'ideas' though.

'oasis' imo. 'brownian interplay' was good, too. haven't heard this new one yet.

I love Escapements, I once nearly lost it when Holden put "Oasis" (Gavin Russom Remix) on in the middle of a set. Looking forward to picking up the new one!

I've enjoyed his last couple of albums but I always feel he could get away with dialling up the melodic opulence, so I'm looking forward to this.

This is good!

Bit wibbly for me, although immaculately produced. I think I preferred 'Ideas From The Pond'.
