Progressive electronic in 2020 still relies on the same tropes some high 70s dudes created. And, spoiler: it still works, even though the formula is quite simple. Indeed, this album is nothing but crescending synths creating complex webs counterbalanced by minimal techno beats. When it works, like on the first two tracks, it's amazing. When it meanders for too long without bringing enough diversity or climax ("Slack Sley & Temple"), it's much less enjoyable. Overall a real solid electronic record for y'all Boards of Canada nerds.
