New Landing album out (yes, I will call them albums until the day I die, and possibly even after that). It's not bad, by any means, but it's also not as immediate a knockout as their other recent work. Which is funny, because a lot of that recent work is fairly droney/experimental, yet still seems to grab me from the get-go as opposed to, say, early/mid 70s Tangerine Dream (which I love), where you would sometimes have to slog through 5 or 10 minutes of noodling before getting to the good stuff. Landing seems to know how to start right in the middle of the good stuff, and then just progress from there.
I thought they were gone for good after 2006's exceptional Gravitational IV, but they were apparently just recharging for 6 years. Landing, Wave Lair, Body Diffuser and Third Sight have constituted an amazing hot streak. Maybe Complekt will earn its place beside them. I'd like to think so.
