I really like Garden of Delete.
I can see where _slavo_ is coming from, but from what I can tell after a few listens, if you just play the album and don't even pay attention to when/where individual songs stop and start, it does appear to be held together by some kind of overarching theme. I particularly like the second half, which has some really jubilant moments. It almost works like a single, twisted, labyrinthine track.
I'm definitely into it. In a year already packed with incredible electronic records by Hudson Mohawke, Nosaj Thing, Squarepusher, Prefuse 73, Aphex Twin/AFX, Four Tet and Botany, it stands out as pretty phenomenal and unique album.
