    Fake's music has always been highly inventive and emotion-rich, but this is the most urgent and vital it's ever felt.

    Yes, the electronic world of music is like this: it turns musicians into artists.
    _____ It turned out a good portion of sound ambient, which absorbed understandable dance rhythms and non-trivial new sound solutions. And Bizzards reminded me of the early Boards of Canada albums.    … Expand
