"Why oh why did you rip Boards of Canada off? "Love Song" is almost a carbon copy of BoC's "Pete Standing Alone". "A Sam is Born", "Lagunita Fog" and "Spring or Winter" are also near direct translations of BoC tracks. Some of the tracks also tend to be a bit monotonous. FYI, the beat in Lagunita Fog really pisses me off! Once you hear it, you'll know what I mean.
Having said all of that, I love this CD, and I'm listening to it right now. It's full of great soundscapes, such as in "There's a Shipwreck Down There". "Fighting Action Figures" is one of the coolest songs I've heard in a while. I would highly recommend this CD to those who enjoy Ulrich Schnauss and Boards of Canada, (so long as you don't mind the occasional copywright infringement). ;-)"
