The latest and one of the greatest in dark ambient.

"Freescha is new to me, but I've recently become a big fan of Casino vs. Japan, who seems to become a stronger artist with each release-- no mean feat for an ambient artist. The seven tracks here are what you might call 'hard ambient.' Beats abound, but the songs maintain a moody soundscape that is a must for fans of ambient along the lines of FSOL, Woob, or Boards of Canada. Personally, I think the comparisons to BOC are a little overstated. Casino doesn't have the same retro-psychedelic feel-- it's 100% 21st century. Dark, urban, yet nostalgic for a simpler, more idyllic time. Highly recommended, and a reasonably priced introduction to a couple of genuine up-and-comers."

What a combination,two of the finest electronica acts around

"This record is a split featuring casino vs japan and Freescha.
Both are electronic acts, with a boards of canada feel, but oh with so much more. Freescha's 2002 album "what's come inside" has to be one of my all time favourite releases. Seriously. If you are a fan of boards of canada or morr music (or soft IDM) you will love freescha. Same goes for Casino vs japan. You must buy this record!!!"
