top of the lo-fi pile
The ten tracks on 'Red' are individually beautiful, combine them and what you get is something wonderfully brilliant. At times quiet, slow and methodical there is the occasional song that is louder, faster and more chaotic, each track has its own distinct sound and each one tells a story. All of the tracks are instrumental, some with pre-recorded vocals weaved in and others with the odd, random noise, every time you hear a track it's like hearing it for the first time because you are able to pick out something you missed last time. Each of the ten tracks on 'Red' is an individual masterpiece and I've found myself listening to it over and over, each time trying to hear something new or hear the track in a different way. I really can't say enough good things about this album, nor do I feel I can do it justice in a review, you really have to hear this for yourself.
