My favourite thing from you in ages.

I could have done without the epileptic drums, but I know you can't help yourself

Awesomely beautiful ambience throughout.

I recognize that I have a problem... they say that's the first step...

Fyi - all the ambience was created using clips of a guitar recording I made in 1978, and the tape hiss is there to prove it.

Great track, Matt. I must remember to play the non-Soundcloud version of your tracks (at least for the first audition) more often. I think the initial playthrough is more interesting without visual clues. The ambient sounds on here are wonderful and that glitchy percussion is really heavy.

A fine piece of music

Wow - wish I had the cojones to take it out to left field. Hard to pull that off - great work.

...Oh, and those drums were awesome. Like a beat falling down some stairs.

Thank you guys! Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

cool ambient mood at the start. That is a pleasant piano tone and snippet you have there. Yes, the crazy beats certainly changes things. Damn, what a hoarder, 1978 !! I like it as the beats calm down again. Really enjoyed this.
