Lawrence English's music can vary widely from the highly abstract to the decidedly pop-tinged. Here, the music might best be described as Fenneszian, that is, somewhat abstract on the one hand but with a certain tonal center, a brushed-steel smoothness with ample enough granularity to maintain interest and stimulate aural pleasure sensors.

The opening track, "Organs Lost at Sea" indeed summons forth just about that image, massive organ-y sounds submerged under even more massive swatches of fuzz and blur. From here, the eight tracks bleed into one another and retain common characteristics: a drone-ish aspect, a rich, pealing tone buried somewhere within, often masked by harsher swaddling and a generally cavernous sound. There's not a whole lot of variation from one to the next as though English is simply visiting adjacent pools of sound, each reflecting the last, but the sound world he creates is lush and inviting enough to ensure that wallowing a while will prove enjoyable and only mildly harmful to one's health. The pulses, throbs, static and low, bell-like tones echo in the vast, dark space he's constructed, occasionally opening up to admit the sounds of waves and electronic insects. By the end of the disc, you may feel just a little bloated and hyperglycemic, but electro-acoustic fans are allowed their pastries now and then and this is a tasty confection.
