Hi

Yep, I pretty much agree with your description, based on limited listens. I have had the album for a while, but only given it two listens... whilst doing other stuff. It has kinda gotten buried in other new albums I have been listening to, though it deserves a few more listens.

If you like [Distance] - still my fave Marconi Union album - you may also like Loscil on the Kranky label. I have been listening to First Narrows a lot and Plume for the first time tonight. Both are similar to [Distance], tho are a little more towards sound-wash with a few intricate sounds interwoven and standing out. What reminds me of [Distance] is the holistic sense of subtle propulsion or pulsing energy... that which makes [Distance] (almost) unique and particularly appealing to me.

As for Plume, playing for the first time as I type this - a big thumbs up on first listen, as was [Distance].

Thanks for sharing - it has encouraged me to give Tokyo a dedicated listen.

Kind regards
Raymond
