Paul - I found this quite enjoyable in places. The first three tracks have a film soundtrack flavour to them before we get punky with 'Barbara'. After that it gets a bit more experimental and I don't dig that side of it as much. It also suffers a little from the 'Altın Gün problem' of not being an English vocal.
Thankfully last track 'Tekagami' finishes the record on a high point. While I don't love this record I'm not put off from listening to more of their work.
Ben - I struggled to enjoy much on this album I’m afraid. First half sounded like a film score, then it got decent with an upbeat track, then it got disappointing again until I was relieved when the last track ended. Idk why I didnt like it, it just didn’t fire my interest or sound particularly good, maybe a lack of decent melodies, maybe the language or perhaps a combination of all of the above.
Stu - I’ve played this again today and it simply gets better and better for me! I like the width and depth of the style! I do like a female vocal and in a different language always interests me! I agree with you guys, the first half of this record could easily accompany a TARANTINO film! I like the desert vibe, modern western feel! The second half is also intriguing and unlike you guys I do like a cacophony of noise even if it’s not melodic! I note that you 2 always reference the melody in these records we review. Yes it is important BUT I deliberately look for the opposite. Of course is doesn’t work all the time BUT I love the exploration! I have ordered this LP on vinyl through Bandcamp and I look forward to it being in my collection 8/10 ⭐️
