A subtle intertwining of guitars by Adam Forkner and Franz Prichard with Alex Bundy's keyboards adding another texture begin "Team Yume" with Jason Anderson's drumming entering about halfway through the song and the whole band building to a soar through the sonic clouds. At any moment I thought vocalist Adam would start singing. This initially put me off but after a couple more listens, I started to get it, to dig it. Once I got used to the fact that they weren't an ambient outfit per se, I found I enjoyed the music more. "I Wait For You" begins with full band in a more traditional arrangement (Adam singing at the beginning) until you realize after about two minutes that the rest of the song's near eight minute length is a spacey instrumental jam. "Surface 1" is an ambient gem of elongated guitar figures and floating keyboards. At over 11 minutes long, "Truth" begins with a bit of singing, goes ambient soon after and doesn't become a `song' again until about the seven minute mark and proceeds to rock out in glorious waves of distortion over its anthemic melody. Mr. Forkner's voice sounds especially good on this piece, just letting it all out. Keyboards dominate on "Surface ll", another splendid ambient piece. The CD closes with the shoe-gazing 18 minute plus dirge "The Frigid, Frigid, Frigid Body of Dr. T.J. Eckleberg". It begins with vocals then for the rest of the song it's space rock. I'm glad I got this album after some initial skepticism. Just keep an open mind (and ears). Although the band recommend listening to it in the bedroom, I prefer ear buds/headphones but that's good too.
If you like this band, check out My Bloody Valentine, Brian Eno's solo work and his work with Robert Fripp, Pink Floyd, Hammer and Jay Thing.
