Fuck you Die Antwoord! You've completely ruined Ageispolis for me! Bastards!
And now, from my most abrasive review opener in ages, let's get into a album that literally is just cool noises.
Yep, it's time for me to finally, fucking FINALLY dip my toes into the large behemoth discography of Aphex Twin, who's name in the electronic world seems larger then life. A EDM Mozart if you will.

As my introduction to Ambient music this album has done its deed, a beautiful and eerie listen that I'd recommend only to the biggest music geeks.
