ehh....it gives an erie feeling traveling around through your ears and into your head, but i think it would do best as some forgotten track rediscovered and bured on a b-sides album...i think i already forgot it...i like the espers stuff too, maybe just too skeletal for me tonight

i like the sparness of it actually. to me it came off as pretty haunting.

I hate the intro, but after the one-minute mark it's really nice.

I was not haunted, sorry. Just too spare.

This is amazing. Nice after the disappointing (for me) Espers II.

Did you notice that the music box in the background is playing the melody to "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera? WIGGY...

Holy god, yesss! Thank goodness someone else noticed that. I was going to post about it but didn't want to be the first for fear of seeming extremely dorky!
