Sandspider is quite lonely and beautiful, that's why it's one of my tops. The intro track especially has this lovely mourning piano, rain, thunder etc.. But it's not all like that, has some nice dubby moments - it's a good all round album this.
Phutureprimitive isn't for Shpongle listeners... it's deeper chill that you have to appreciate on repeated listens rather than having outright 'wow' factor. Extremely hypnotic and trancey but done in a very slow, focused way. Though the last track 'Dissolve' just hit me straight away, a very beautiful piece of beatless ambient with orchestral type sounds. Fantastic album.
