new album is just comfort food, he's done this thing countless times before and it's not as good as any of those (especially not ii or where i go you go too), but it's still pretty pleasant to have on in the background

his last high watermark for me was 'closing shot'

There's a dank mystery in "Under Trees," the closer from It's Alright Between Us as It Is, that I've always found rather special.
Disappointed that there seems to be no CD version of the new album -- I suppose if there are hardcore Lindstrøm collectors out there, they're used to buying 12"s anyway.

if we're talking favorite late-period Lindstrom tracks, mine is probably Algorytme:

the segment from the breakdown through where it all clicks together is one of my favorite bits in his entire catalogue

I like this album a lot more than I expected reading the previous comments. "Syreen" and "Nightswim" are the kinds of synth-driven dance tracks he has made a career out of (still excellent). But the latter two tracks are where my ears perked up: "The Rind" has a killer breakdown and build up led by ascending jazz chords and a relentless beat punctuated by disco strings; the title track is blissful and evolves into an extended electric guitar meditation.

'Everyone else is a stranger' probably my fav
