I want to get excited over this album. The layered synth and the beats come through with impeccable timing on the first track "Burnt Sienna". Though the album sags a bit in the middle, when at one point I wondered if I was listening to new age music on a cassette-tape, as I walked through a concrete tunnel, with vehicles driving overhead.

In any case, the three or four songs after "Burnt Sienna" involve a good deal of naval gazing and less shoegazing than I had hoped for. Though song four: "Soft Color People" seems to make up for lost time with its gentle guitar plucking over a landscape of fuzzy optimism.

The song "Gaberdine" is quite nice.

I can see myself inclined to pay $13
for the used Lp in a couple of years.
