A really good ambient techno project from the depths of RYM. Very Boards of Canada-ish (might be playing into the meme but who cares), in the way of how much ambient is on here.

The only track that I actually liked was the title track, and I doubt I'm ever gonna revisit that again. It's like it's trying to be better, and in some cases it literally takes samples from better songs (ex. "Rashad" borrowing the ... read more
