Here's an odd review for you - I bought this album, released January 2002, some time ago now. But it's worth a mention and things have been quiet around here, so why not? I haven't listened to this for a while and just whacked it on today on a whim. Prepare for another flaccid Steve review!
The motivation was the Jagz Kooner remix of \"film music\" - I picked up that single at the same time. I've always been a bit undecided about this sort of mogwai-ish guitar driven ambient, i'd say this was very much verging on \"good\" though. (Damning with faint praise there perhaps) Right from the offset \"the invisible dog\" sets a mood that's carried throughout - chilled, but still demanding a bit of attention.
Film Music is definitely the stand out track, and sounds as good today as it did when I bought it, but over the whole record there's a feeling that it's a one trick pony - I could definitely describe the whole album for you - repetitive, slowly speeding up into a crescendo, and then simmering for a bit before coming up for another boil!
Anyway - read my \"Kazaa is crap\" post, (that i'm just going to write shortly) then take a look around to see if you can get a hold of the Jagz Kooner remix of \"film music\". Now that's a record!
