yummy yummy synths
The first few tracks are like, Starfucker meets A Sunny Day in Glasgow. Tasty shit. Has a really nice, ambient, dream-poppy feel-- I'll probably end up buying it so I can listen to it in surround sound instead of these crappy laptop speakers. As a whole, the album flows really well, but that's mostly because you sample the end of one song with the beginning of another and the run on it from there (I'll draw a comparison to A Sunny Day in Glasgow again). Not that that's a bad thing, but it makes "flow" seem a little more artificial and makes it less accessible to people who don't want to have to listen to an entire album to get a feel of your music. I would suggest breaking up the album into parts so that not every track flows into the next (for instance, treat tracks 1, 2 and 3 as a single piece but then deviate for track 4, which will then fade into track 5 and so on and so forth).
Track-by-track (skipping the ones I don't have any problems with):
On Gather Around the Spirit in the Throws of Death, you mispelled the eighth word in the track. In that context it would be Throes, not Throws. Just grammar nitpicking, the track itself is fine.
The drums on Maps and Atlases are great, but you should bring them to the foreground a little bit, they sound kind of washed-out and too natural/acoustic to fit in with the synthy, electronic feel of the album. Otherwise it's a great track.
On Flight of the Flower Feathered Phoenix, the crunchiness that come in around 3:00 (the staticy, heavy ones) should be toned down quite a bit so they don't completely drown the lighter synths at first.
Juncs Port is probably the only track on here I really and truly dislike. The drums are way too heavy and repetitive and the 8-bit synths are too, I'm not really sure if this track is salvageable so I won't even offer constructive criticism here.
Weave works well as a transitional track, the airplane-takeoff sounding stuff should probably be toned down just a tiny bit but that's all I have to say about it.
In The Forest is probably my favorite track on the album. The ambience in the beginning is really flowy and wavy and nice, but I have the same problem with the drums as on Maps and Atlases. Make the drums less sharp and percussive and treat them like a rhythm instrument instead of some sort of intrusion into the song. When you fade them out around 1:45 it's at the ideal volume level, but then you bring them back around 2:18.
When you bring them back at 3:30-ish they're perfect and they complement what I assume to be droning guitar really, really well (sounds just as good when you do it again around 5:00).
OVERALL: I'd give it a 7/10 as it stands. Very solid and consistent and not too drony or ambient or repetitive, which is pretty difficult to achieve in a genre like ambient/shoegaze. Good shit.
