Put the opening track "Mangsebung" on, then stay with the record until the closer "Shadows" rings out and you will go clear, sharp, and mildly messed up by the listening experience because this is an extremely well directed trip in mind-altering music! This album needed time to reach such heights. The width of range in influences has become somewhat of a trademark for Font?n. Magma, Pink Floyd, Bhutanese and Nordic folk music, Manuel G?ttsching and Ashra, Robert Fripp and King Crimson, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Talking Heads, DJ Shadow, Brian Eno, Boards of Canada, are some of the music that has made a mark on the psychedelic duo. One of the main differences though between Font?n and other bands with a similar setup of names to drop is that many cannot transform those musical traditions into timeless and boundless songs like those in Font?ns catalogue.
