What is it about Xtal that's won two polls now? I guess it's his high girly singing that's so appealing.

Beautiful chords, the impossible atmosphere (warm and enveloping but still cold and alien).. and the mournful synth horns towards the end, that's really affecting stuff.

also fabulous: the way the vocal sample rubs up harmonically against the synth chords

by chords i'm referring to the "main" synth part that's there basically from the beginning. oh w/e i'm hi.

I always felt the highlights on SAWI were Ageispolis and Heliosphan.

Btw the high girly singing on Xtal is a library music sample, not RDJ's voice.

the soundcloud rollout was all a bunch of demos & experiments; with a few exceptions none of it came close to the quality of his "official" releases
