Not historically a fan of AFX but I find that I kind of like some of this. The sound design and editing are pretty much peerless.

at the moment this is my go-to afx record

I crack up every time at all of the brilliant misdirection in it. It's like an infinitely more sonically satisfying Perrey and Kingsley record.

Possibly the Afx record I've listened to the most, despite its inexplicably dodgy reputation.

one year passes...

got a copy of this on vinyl now and uhhh it sounds insane. idk why they put it on 3 records when it could've easily fit on two (it doesn't even have the bonus track!) but its so good I guess I can overlook that. this shit reboots your brain

the 1st track is like a 3-D version of "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball"

could do without the electronically controller acoustic instruments one though

A fascinating release in a lot of ways. I’ve been thinking about doing an ILM review of it.

"Collapse EP is awesome too. man why'd he have to go away again"

seems to have cracked totally after his father passed, plus all his statements re covid/quarantine made me worry for his mental health
