On track number 2, 9.01-9:06, we can hear Laurent Garnier's baby born on 9th January 2004, recorded by Laurent at the maternity hospital.

The factory is most beautiful to look at by night. The old people say that it has always been there, spitting out its white smoke, heavy like rain filled clouds. They say that the cloud making machine has the power to recharge the batteries of the sky and to raise wishes up to the heavens. This is a story about a man who made a wish and told it to the machine. But his wish was too complicated to be granted straightaway. Months ed, hope became stronger than doubt, love became stronger than fear, the present became stronger than the past, the sun became stronger than the winter and the dance became stronger than everything else. At last his wish was heard. The machine makes clouds and sends everyone's wishes up to the heavens. Ask, and perhaps your wish will be granted.

    I like it. SO autumn, so damn atmospheric and coherent. I can say for sure it's already a part of me, like, my musical memory, you know. I return to it sometimes in my life, and it evokes the reminiscences from the past related to this music .
    surely has something in common with Nicolas Jaar's album: these voices of male and children.. and especially that noir-esque mood.. yep.

      Not my cup of tea. It's slow, repetitive, experimental, minimalistic, and ultimately, boring. Too spacey for me. Doesn't stick to the standard electronic music template and while that can be a good thing but here its risk taking backfires. It's crude jazz, essentially.
