Like the Fly Pan Am post, I came to this under the guise of post-rock. Back then, I thought Alien8 was exceptional (they're still cool, but not as good, imo), and so, when I was just a review writer trying to figure out what I would say about music, and how I would say it, I asked for this record. I am so glad I did. Read the above for a more detailed note on what I was thinking back then re: post-rock, but needless to say, this has nothing to do with (stylistically, anyway), GY!BE. This is weird electronic, krautrock mixed with noise and electronics. Really far out, and abrasive in all the ways you'll probably like. Again, genres are a waste of time, and I have been super busy, so I've neglected these posts. I think the ideas that went into the music are important. The methods are probably most important. Think to a time before genres were settled. Those musics were the result of reaction to and experimentation with established musics. Sometimes the simplest thing to do was blend styles. Think of this as style blending swagger from up your butt.

Love this album. Alien8 rules.
Yeah, I forgot how good it was until I put it on my iPhone the other day.
Boring album.
