Stellarscope do a fine, fine job of blending the atmospherics inherent to the genre with a nice pop sensibility.

What we have here is merely a taste, and I, for one, am left wanting much more.

Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind is worth watching if only to give one a much better context in which to appreciate Miyazaki’s movies.

K.C. Accidental perfectly straddles the line between Do Make Say Think and Broken Social Scene.

There’s hardly a minute on the disc that isn’t awash with blackened waves of drone and drift, eerie scrapings and ringings, and whatnot.

Forgettable, obviously churned out to fill a niche, and reeking of assembly line workmanship.
