6.9 / 10

On his first 4AD album, the Icelandic composer-- who has built a rewarding catalog based on ideas about technology and music-- takes the ache of nostalgia for obsolete technology and inflates the melodrama to airship proportions.

The album gives you the sense of hearing something truly ancient being married to something very modern and present.
