AWESOME, chill, mostly insturmental abstract trip-hop beats. A little repetitive and slow if you're not into this stuff. Kinda like Urchin. Most tracks blend into eachother, so be careful if you're looking for a smooth transition to another album...

Check 4,2,5,9

1. Slow beatless intro. Nice bass and some tweaks/scratching.
* 2. Beautiful guitar loops, harp(?) samples. Solid, dynamic drum loops.
3. More generic. More repetitive vocal scratchings of "Yeah" and "Yo".
* 4. Awesome plinking intro, with crunchy beats entering later.
* 5. Spacey urban-meloncholy. Think shoe-gazer, half-speed drum & bass.
6. High-pitched drone.
7. That's some wicked-skinny drum & bell, yo.
* 8. Nice synth washes, beats, wind... ahhhh......
9. Scratchy
10. Repeating set of descending notes. And drums.
11. Bells and harmonic whiney noise
12. Echoey.
*13. Rhythmically broken beats and tones.
*14. Subtle vocal rap loop (MC Shan).
15. Slow, barely on-beat synth loop.
*16. Nice melodic track. Obo-ma-boe?
