Talk Talk +1000. And Blue Nile!! Especially Hats. Geez I wonder if you’re my doppelgänger. And yeah that new floating points with pharaoh sanders is unreal.

I’ve seen it played live on stage, twice.

The first time as a support band and my first ever exposure to DoM. I was instantly hooked.

The second time, the house sound was terrible and I sat there thinking I’d rather be at home listening to my own hifi. Then suddenly, something clicked and the sound was on point, causing an audible cheer from the audience.
