Now this is a varied collection. Reminding me of the Hackers soundtrack (you know the one), Terraforming is a journey through 90s electronic sounds, all impeccably crafted so that each so is memorable and different from the next. There's ambient here, downtempo, IDM, ambient techno - it's all here to take you back to when Aphex Twin and Orbital were king. But Gift Culture provides more than just a trip down memory lane; he brings something new to the table by just how much he is able to vary his sound. The first track sounds like an uptempo groovy track, but then he segues to downtempo, even going for glitchy IDM for a while, and for the closer he even busts out some guitar over some extremely wobbly bass. This is obviously a case of a knowledgeable producer flexing his muscles, but not to the detriment of the music, as each track is crafted toward making a great song, if not a cohesive, flowing album. If you were born and bred on electronic music, this will definitely be a fun listen.

A delicious display of sonic amplitude will wet your appetite for a course of melodic marmalade drizzled over a robust multi layered digitalis. The ambiance is plush and candle lit. For desert; sugar beats with a hint of creme-de-la-creme. Add your favorite glass of imagination and this will be a date to remember.
