This double album should have its own thread,so I've started one.
The package dropped through my letterbox yesterday.
I was about to listen then got interrupted by a visitor so its had to wait until today.
These are both excellent albums well worth a listen.
TMPEOTY is the more unusual of the 2.
In places its like an Electro audio book concept album.
Obvious influences are the Beatles,Kate Bush's Ariel and also some of bits remind of Bjork.
The exception which breaks the album up is the song Turning into Everything (which is on the This Air CD single).
Guitars on this remind me a bit of Joy Division/New Order.
TMPEOTY took me on a journey I didnt expect & is wonderful.There are also some vocal ambient nods in John Foxx's direction.
Many of the tracks on E.S.T are very familiar to me from Louis Myspace page over the last year or so.
Favourites so far are the very catchy Crash that Car also With my Magic Eye & of course the fantastic This Air,here available in its longer more housy sounding original version.
Once again I must mention the excellent packaging & graphics.
These albums are a must buy for any Gordon fan & their appeal also goes well beyond that.
