"I'm a Big Sister..." thread.
so... what do we think?

it's an incredibly lush release. i asked earlier how things can get more chilled after PFE in slight disbelief, and this is how that's done. talking about an ambient underworld album a couple years back too.. seems to have finally yielded itself in the form of this 30 minute release.

routinely calm for an unusual 5 minutes, then it just dives into full involvment. pretty exhilirating, and it pulls back again as if it never happened. pulsates in some of riverrun's warmest parts. every element used as a rhythm to make it a smooth block of sound. lots of spoken bits throughout, and a little bit of recycling from other songs. 'wedge' (i believe it's called) is one of karl's finest moments. also fairly large surprise at the end, music-wise.

it doesn't disappoint, let's say... or understate. at least on par with previous riverruns.
