Total Play Time:

5 out of 5

This disc is deserving of a full review, but in the interim let me just say this disc earned it's 5 out of 5 score even with it being so short. It's a love/hate situation when I put in this disc. I love what I am going to hear, but 8 songs go by very quickly on this disc which is why I considered it an EP versus a full album. This musical masterpiece from Portland embraces the best of IDM today, and even some Drum-n-Bass, and molds the songs into a captivating set all on it's own.

I've enjoyed all of the Portland releases I've ever purchased, and each one somehow improves upon the last. I am looking forward to what comes next!
