This album is fucking amazing. I had already listened to it before, but having bought it I now listen to it again and it really is wonderful. I love the fact that it blends almost perfectly both Broadcast's and The Focus Group's styles; something that has not been really understood by a lot of people... It seems like I always hear people complaining about the fact that "IT IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE BROADCAST ALBUM" - they probably thought it would be some new Broadcast thingy with an unknown guest on it. They do not realize that it is not the point of this recording ... I think it is misjudged.
People should be more curious... this record turned me on to that whole "hauntology" thingy and made me discover great things (damn, that "The Transactional Dharma Of Roj" record has to be one of the best of the year!). But most people I read just complain that "OHNO IT IS NOT THE BROADCAST I LOVE". Bleh. Because Broadcast is your favorite band out of the two (it's mine, too) does not mean The Focus Group should be a simple guest.
So yeah, great album. Check it if you haven't already - and check that Roj album, too!
