Bought the Manitoba album at the weekend. Do you know, it is almost AN EXACT COPY of the second Chapterhouse album? You know, the one that no one bought cause they went all techno. Right down to the breathy backwards reverbed vocals. The beats, the guitar texture, the treatment, especially the vocals. The ambient techno/shoegazer crossover never happened in 1993, but it's happening in 2003. This makes me laugh SO HARD.
It's a nice album, I'll give you that. I'm not sure that it's a GREAT album. But my god, does it sound like Chapterhouse.

My favourite thing of his remains his remix of a Four Tet track on the Paws EP.

As I'm snorkeling in its undercurrents and as I can't say this often enough, if you like to backstroke psychadelia's seas, love The Circulatory System with me. It's neither laptop nor electronic (not really), yet melodic wall of sound moments aplenty.
(The above link will take you to a few mp3s and videos.)

i think it's closest relation is mercury rev's "See you on the other side". both very much a complete piece of work, not a collection of songs, and both have a real jazz-pop feel. its my fave of the year so far, but i haven't heard much yet.

I've just got hold of the Assholes... 12" and a track off the Giv'r 12" too; both are very unlike the UIF material but obviously of a kin, and very good too. This guy is slowly cementing himself as my fave current artist.

Funny thing is, it's totally grown on me. I thought it sounded like a Chapterhouse album on first listen. But now I'm hearing more of Mercury Rev in there. Like _See You On The Other Side_ era Rev. Maybe even hints of the more mellow songs on BOCES.
I like it. I like it more and more every day.

And too short? One of the reasons I love this LP is that it fills the spaces in my life, my heart sinks when I slip a new CD in and 76:00 illuminates. Basic algebra means that the shorter the goodness then the more times you can listen to the goodness, which is good, right?
