Occasionally a CD sells, and I have no recollection of acquiring it.  Since this came out in 2001, I'm guessing one of two places.  Either I saw it in the dollar pile on the wall at Kim's Underground on St. Marks and pulled it because it was on Neurot which had Neurosis, Isis and most importantly Oxbow.  The other possibility is I heard it on 3WK, which I was listening to around that time and mail ordered it used online.

Anyway, this album of ambient post-rock didn't move the needle then or now.  It is pleasant enough droning with an occasion trombone here or harp there.  I'm cat sitting with a laptop and cheating a bit, streaming this a few times to get my write up in before I pull it from storage, so maybe I'm missing out on a grand stereo CD immersion experience or a good headphone one.  Since the tracks often go into each other, the YouTube ad interruptions are jarring and annoying to listen to this start to finish, but I'm a big boy and can thread the needle and figure it out in my head without perfect aesthetic replication for a write up as long as I get multiple listens in.

Many people played on this album so I guess somebody somewhere would be an ardent defender of this.  That person would probably also like Mogwai.  There is also a cover of "Ghostyhead" by Rickie Lee Jones from her 1987 album of the same name that I don't remember at all even though I know all of her prior releases to some degree.

Sometimes life is too short for ambient immersion.
