Second half of the album is stunning. First half will take a few more listens. Was expecting to be let down from what i had read, but this is in no way a let down.

Shadow from Tartarus hits hard. I like it a lot, probably my favourite of the year so far.

Twice, first was terrible, second was alright (but I wasn't in a state to remember much of it admittedly), the other three times I went to see him he didn't turn up.

I've also seen him but i was too drunk to remember anything. He might not even have shown up for all i know. Hope this helps!

i saw him at mutek 2 years ago. he had tech issues but he sounded good, mostly played his own material. he wasn't very engaging, kept his hood up the entire set.

I think I was even expecting to be disappointed a little bit. But yeah, real happy. On my 3rd listen now and it's holding up.

i'm glad i managed my expectations a little but yeah, excellent work. the weird sidechain vaportrace style of drum production is brilliant. it's like ambient techno turned inside out, or if you subtracted the kick drum from porter ricks
In other words it's like being fucked by a mountain in a cave inside the mountain itself

Yeah I was at the same 2, but sober the 2nd time and it was great.

I love this and am totally feeling the concept around the whole thing

Jardin/Serpent is my favourite one/two on an album in ages.
