    Try it once and you'll be back for more--even if you're a long term convert to the beautifully sculpted world of Apparat.

    The Devil's Walks minimal electronic landscape is mesmerizing and perfect for a quiet, rainy day of contemplation.

    It's the type of album that can be enjoyed on the surface, as pleasant background listening, or as a deeply immersive experience.

    If anything, the album isn't obnoxious or overproduced, and those who are more forgiving of beauty-mongering landscape pop likely have a year-end list candidate. Those who are into Apparat's more adventurous work and collaborations, though, should pass.
