 | | Unlike the murkier, dub-like rhythms and textures of their 2001 release with I-Sound (Music is a Hungry Ghost), Hotel Morgen spends most of its time with crisp, light, low-key post-rock noodlings, much like those on Tortoise's most recent album, It's All Around You. |
 | | To be perfectly blunt, plopping the CD in my player, I'm fairly nonplused until track four's harkening to the inviting deep-sea ambiance of the previous LP. |
 | | The trick with these kinds of reviews is not to steer away people solely on the commonplace (right down to the wistful vibraphone on "Sol") aesthetic of the album. |
