Strawberry Hotel - Dirty reviews

[purlieu]

1. It's not quite as segued and flowing as I expected.
2. It's more segued and flowing than I thought it would be from the first few tracks.
3. It's definitely overwhelming.
4. It's utterly, utterly brilliant.

Other than 'And the Colour Red', which I still don't get, but does work better here than in a standalone context, I enjoyed every single track on that. It's going to take a lot to force it all into my head - it kind of feels like a condensed mini-Drift, with its various flavours and lengthy tracklist - but there wasn't a moment there that I thought "hmm, what's this meant to be?" or "heard this before" or "bored now" or "ugh, another failed experiment".

Gene Pool and Hilo Sky stood out on first listen. And of course Denver Luna, which is as great as ever. I think I'm going to be listening to this a lot.
