not even the horrible sound of children laughing

can spoil this track from snowflake midnight by mercury rev.
dave is right and who knew? th rev should've been a dance act all along.

or, just to pay devil's advocate, it could be that i have endless patience for ambient house and anything that sounds vaguely like it.

it's pleasant enough and the melody's mildly interesting, but it seems a little formulaic. and yeah, i hear tinges of pomme fritz-era orb in there, too.

does the rest of the album sound like this? i've been too lazy/busy to grab it.

i think you need to listen to it ON WEED.
th rest of th record is a similarly lowkey affair; barely a foot or snare to be found, but plenty of hihats and delay. very frosty and synth-y. some very vangelis moments as well.
works best in th dark and, yes it's true, whilst high.
