IDMish electronic stuff, with jazz elements, heavier on the electronic
end, kinda heavenly sounding at times, very nice.

I'm still absorbing some of the rhymes on this one, but the beats float
in the realm of abstrakt moody and sometimes dissonant sounding.
Definitely for the head more than the floor. This album is more of a
listen/absorb/analyze type of affair than a head nodder.
