This is less of an album, and more of an experiment spread across four rather lengthy tracks.
I'm usually quite in to something that's a little different; I listen to plenty of different bands across different genres, but I found this a little to "Niche" for my liking. I'm not saying this after one listen either, I'd say I've played this record a fair amount and, despite my best efforts, I can't get in to it.
There's something decidedly average about this record. I know some people will like it, and I can kind of understand why; it's relaxing in a "your sleepy, I'll help with that" kind of way. It's more of a record that passes you by, rather than demanding your attention, making you listen to it; and in my opinion all records should do that. Never mind the genre, music should make you sit and listen, whether you're lying in bed or sitting on the train, and there are plenty of alternative albums that have me doing that. This, however, floats across the borders of the conscience, and without leaving any kind of impression, floats straight back over them. It might just be me, but even after the four songs that make this album had finished, I sometimes hadn't notice it had finished for a good 20 or 30 minutes.
Maybe after another dozen or so listens it'll make some kind of mark on me; but at the moment, it's more of a collection of sounds that don't leave me wanting more.
