How to summarize the sounds of this album in words? Though less inclined listeners might cast it off after a few minutes as being repetitious or uneventful, others might conversely call it epic in scope. Songs layered with double instruments and monkish, vocal chants, creeping in with pristine textures. At times, like on "Two Hands" As Good As Gone drifts towards a type of uninspired jazz-funk if it were not for the doodling of psychedelically tuned guitars. The drums often resemble a perfectness from early electronica on songs like "Auriolac" and the entire album moving quite nicely into one beautiful and incoherent organism. A kind of experimental pop that never exploits either element to the album's detriment, I thought of the band Landing as I was first listening to this only because I feel they've been massively one-upped, fans of the newer Oneida stuff will like it I think, also enthusiasts of more laconic-minded groups like Om and to a lesser extent Nadja, the last two tracks: "Burns Blue" and "Dawn Comes Light" point towards the greatness of this band.
