One of the most underrated electronic albums of all time. This album is so unbelievably beautiful I'm shocked its's not more talked about among music fans.

The tracks with vocals are amazingly sung, the elements of jazz on certain tracks are wonderful and a delight to the ears and every track here is at least great in my opinion. All of Bonobo's best tracks are on this album and ... read more
r/electronicmusic were right to vote this up placing it a #7 best electronic album of the 2010s this album is a staple in downtempo music.
Peak Bonobo, this is so fucking good... It's in there on the perfect mix of electronic music with real instrumentation.
Not only he masterly produced this album as a DJ, he played piano, bass, upright bass, guitars (electric and classical), mandolin, keyboards and xylophone and every single part fits perfectly with the music, it might not be super complex, but everything this man did for this project perfectly fits together. This is some peak background music, background music in good sense.

trip-hop beats; el jazz; las capas y capas de detalles y más detalles; unos paisajes gigantes y abrumadores que no dejan de aparecer ante los ojos, y un ritmo animado que me hace pensar estar contemplándolo todo así de boquiabierto abordo de un tren. ... read more
