[HJL004] Ideological Arrest - If Only I Could

One Title Three Words, nice start. Thoughtful. Daddy Absent, you get over it, I had to do it twice. As for Conspiracies Within, tasty construction, bordering on losing control, which is just as it should be. With the odd epiphany scattered here and there. Reminds me of Solar Enemy getting all messianic. There is a lovely movement inscribed in Final Down, and then it fills out wonderfully. Slims down, but even then that is not final, there is more to go. Interlude from the Sun, is only so many tachyons coursing through your body and maybe a distant EMR effect from a flare. Talking of flair, Seymore Acid is pretty full on. Tampered Glass Case has been melted by the sun. Complete With Depression, something people seem to be carrying around with them more these days. Is it getting worse or is it less stigmatized? Either way, nice baggage with this track, depression or not, still has a creative point to make which it does well.

Following this, is the theory of formative causation. If the Cause is the Cause is absolutely spot on. There is no end, is the answer. The question is, how do you get there. Via causes. There is a difference to being a victim of circumstances and a circumstantial victim. It's subtle, but it's there. Same with the cause, it might be ephemeral but it still counts, and that can sometimes be as exponentially wonderful as this track. I.CC, the bottom of the deep blue CCC. Lovely, scattering of musical petals on the path through this album. As for My World is Polluted and Burning, there is not a lot I can say, but if you are worried, so am I. I would swear (expletive, deleted) because this track is fantastic sound manipulation. I have a new Techno Divinity!-)

Go on, laugh if you like, but Laugh at the Weak is a cool track. Nice, strong atmospherics and movement of sound and structure. Like a bendy Tower of Pisa. There's a thought to give you a laugh for the week, flexible architecture, constructed with art in mind, as opposed to utility. Light Subdue, any minute now, just hang on. It will be here soon. Nice little foray into noise manipulation. There is actually some element of Time for Sleep Now that is soporific, in an electronically sophisticated manner. Like it's trying to tuck you in and read you a story. Sweet dreams, for sure!

As for I Thought I Loved You Once, I found it quite touching. Memories as your I seeps through consciousness into sleep. Why Did The Tide Change Sideways, brilliant title. Quick answer: Mother Nature tried some lateral thinking and was worrying about erosion at the time. Other than that, I cannot but enjoy the sound while I ponder. Interesting question, fascinating track. Did the wind blow backwards at the same time? Anyway, this amazing album is rounded off perfectly well with, An Ending for an Ending. Very nice accomplishment.
