Ok, ok, perhaps I'm just some perverted bastard, but the word that keeps coming to mind is SEXUAL. This album is dripping with 'SEXUAL', whatever that means. Without a doubt the best stoned sex album EVER. Having previously (foolishly, perhaps) rejected this album for being to dream-poppy (prefer the heavy style of shoegaze, myself) I decided that perhaps this album would be awesomest when stoned.
And damn I WAS REALLY CORRECT. What was once a fairly soppy album (admittedly, I only listened to like one song and then disregarded) turns out to be one of the spaciest, most ethereal and, of course, SEXUAL albums I've ever heard. Guitars and synths are all flanged out and reverbed to hell, and it souds like they used a couple of hundred different effects which can onlybe a good thing.
Of course one may have some valid concerns that this is too dream poppy, but fear not, it's as wussy as you might've feared. Parts like 'When the Sun Hits' are hugely, hugely anthemic, with plenbty of dream pop action before everything gets really triumphant and awe inspiring, like Sigur Ros covering a Jesu song. Tracks like 'Sing' is really sexy, with all of these gossamer-thin female voices hovering around, and everything in a hazey, beautiful sort of fog, almost like Enya completely gone on LSD. 'Souvlaki Space Station' is a poor song name, but the song is excellent, containing more of the lush space-scapes (just made that word up then! HOW GOOD IS IT!!?), with that whole SEXUAL thing going again.
Yeah so basically this si really good. I imagine playing this with an attractive partner of your preffered sex would be pretty awesome (while stoned, though, not sure how good this would work when sober). Amazing stuff, totally beautiful and spacey and really sexual. This almost get's a 6 star rrating (reserved for those that at AWESOME) but it's just a tiny, tiny bit short of transcendent, so 5 it gets.
Stoned: 5 stars
Sober: 3 stars
WILL UPLOAD STUFF LATER
