Good one, closer than I thought it would be.

I have to admit I don't quite get Disintegration Loops. I understand the concept and like the music but it's too self-indulgent for me. I think other Basinski work is better and there are other ambieny artists like Helge Sten (Deathprod, Supersilent) that were making similar things in the 00s but better imho.

No idea how it came to be THE ambient album of the 00s. The 9/11 relation is purely coincidental but I guess people thought it was a sign of god or something.

Listened to all of Kid A yesterday, it is truly a beast of an album - and even though I listen more to In Rainbows, Kid A is probably the better record. So of its own, it's like a parallel universe or something, just too impressive.
But also depressing.
