still haven't wrapped my head completely around personal space, not quite as space-y as i'd hoped, way more sad.

"personal space" is fucking amazing!
it took me awhile to get into it, i guess i had in my mind that it would be some very sci-fi new-age-ish sun ra meets oneohtrix point never type of thing, it's not, it's a mix of all types of soul and funk and whatnot done w/ either drum machine or synth or both
that said ... what an amazing set of tracks! what a revelation! where did they dig this shit up?!?

how is "you can fly me on your aeroplane"?
i am very skeptical when i hear stuff called "psychedelic soul", it tends not to be much more than "soul w/ bloopy synths"

(As you can hear, it can get somewhat Shuggie-y)
The inst. reprise of the title track is where there bloopy synths come in, btw--one of my fave moments on the record:
