It will stand well, pretty timeless music really. The twinkly bits at the end of Twin Stars are amazing!

Also I love how organic the record sounds, I might be wrong but it sounds like only analog hardware was used opposed to software instruments?

Very nice, most electronic music these days sounds heavily processed but there's something a bit more natural sounding on this release

The vinyl LP is on heavy rotation at the moment, hope I don't wear it out too much!

As I said in the other thread, this is great stuff. One of my favorite releases from 2010.
