"first off, at least for me, this is *not* easy listening music. it's something to sit and dig, not to find any great meaning, just to find the music! but when it hits you, this is great stuff. BotM used to put ridiculous cover songs on each of their albums (rocky and bullwinkle theme, simpsons theme) and masterfully deconstruct them- take them to their most abstract recognizable form, then take that to it's most abstract atonal form... but here, and i enjoy this even more, they do the same with their own creations, and create a soundscape great to engorge your brain and write reviews to. then it falls into chaos!"
