If you can make an album that is the aural equivalent of watching paint dry then Pitchfork will give you a score of 7.5 out of ten.
"The angle of the sun changes, and with it the quality of the light. It's actually that last bit that is closest to the experience Dunn provides on his best extended works. If you were to watch the same spot on the ground all day, its appearance would vary greatly over time, but not in such a way that you'd register the changes as distinct moments when something was suddenly different."
"It may seem as though I'm comparing listening to his music to watching paint dry (and to some people, that's probably what the glacially shifting 17-minute drone "Butel" will seem like), but it really is interesting, involving music for fans of ambient drone."
The conclusion to be drawn from this is that to this reviewer - watching paint dry is interesting and involving.
I must run out and buy this album.
On second thoughts, I will put my ears beside my fridge for an hour.
