It had some great moments but it's probably his least memorable album by far and often sounds like a bunch of sketches, like he had some cool ideas but couldn't quite bring them to fruition. This has been a year full of ambient artists using vocals for the first time and to be perfectly honest not one of them has been super successful. Similes is no exception. Seeing him live for the 5th or 6th time or so and having it be a fairly lame show (far too quiet, almost entirely new material which, let me tell you, does not translate into an interesting live show) certainly didn't help. Luckily his upcoming ep on temp. res. has an 11-minute long instrumental in the vein of Taken or New Animals From the Air which makes me very, very happy to hear.
