I bought this after hearing the final track, "A Field of Night", as part of a Low Light Mixes podcast. The album is available on iTunes; I have the iTunes version. "A Field of Night" is atypical - it's a lot more melancholic than the rest of the album. It's somewhat reminiscent of Robin Guthrie or Ashera, with wordless vocals drifting over big echoey oceanic guitar notes. The rest of the album isn't quite as good. It's too nice for my taste.

There's a subtle difference between good ambient music and Windham Hill-style background noise, generally only apparent when you listen to an entire album at once. Some musicians stand right on the border between the two styles; Jon Jenkins and David Helping (for example) produce music that wouldn't be out of place at a yoga workshop, but at the same time their art is quirky enough that you can concentrate on it. Benoît Pioulard's ambient drones are in theory muzak but there's something awesomely sublime about their sheer sonic presence.

This record falls leans in the former direction. The first eight tracks are consistently pleasant, like something Mark Knopfler might write for an instrumental soundtrack; there's just enough quirkiness to lift it above that but not very far. "Southerly Wind" has a ghostly sample of someone singing on the radio; "Obelisk" is pure atmosphere; "Kestrel Rising" has a bouncy sequence that reminds me a bit of Múm. "Today is Beautiful, We Have Things to Do" has the kind of subversive name you'd expect from a post-rock song that mocks the idea of today being beautiful, but it's just a pleasant guitar instrumental.

Apropos of nothing the title track sounds like a cross between "Here Comes the Sun" and a mellow acoustic version of "Can't Hardly Wait" by The Replacements - I can't get that comparison out of my head. The chorus has the same chord sequence as the Replacements' song. Overall this is a pleasant album but I wished it had more edge.
