I gotta say, i'm loving it!  2 hours of new ae is a lot to process, and i've been anticipating this for a long time so my expectation were high, but it's really going down well.  i think the dense layers and sound design are reminscent of draft, but there are really emotive melodic bits fighting out of the mix that owe a lot to oversteps.  it's gonna take a long time to get my head around this one, but i'm going to enjoy doing so!

very nice description... yep it's gonna take a while to absorb it all. i was a bit surprised about the density of the tracks. seems more full on then «oversteps». it really has to grow on you and that needs time. at first «oversteps» didn't convince me at all and now i think's it's fantastic. sure «exai» will accomplish the same sooner or later

forgot something:
what i found absolutely amazing is that it's 100% AE from the first split second. they really have a complete unique approach and sound, the sound design and mix is superb!
