I couldn't agree more! I couldn't stop listening to this album when I got it
last week, listening four times in a row (something I never do) on the first go

moving and incredibly well-written/produced albums I've heard in years,
definitely on Herbert's jazzy, laid-back, and lovelorn tip rather than in his
techno realm. If you're a fan of his remixes for folks like dZihan & Kamien and
Nils Petter Molvaer, you're gonna flip for this. Wow.
