this one is his debut set, was recommended to me by Tem..aint nowhere near as bad as his Portishead/Radiohead reco's though!
very ambient electronic stuff happening on this one..
lots of sparse sounds like Portishead though. overall sound is okay though,probably a cross between those portishead guys and say Moby, his "play" album cones straight to mind here.
lots of sound bytes/samples from what i can hear...some of that dreaded vocorder stuff also..
it does sound a bit self obsessed and over self-indulgent though.
its okay as an overall piece though
