    A difficult, flawed record that’s predictably too long, making the highs all the more rewarding.

    Infuriates as often as it delights.

    Since 1995, Jenkinson's been treating his laptop the way death-metal bands treat their guitars, and it's no longer radical, just annoying. [Apr 2004, p.136]

    His most complete work to date. It will take you places you wish to never leave and places you never want to be. An album worthy of multiple listens.
