still in his epic length almost post rock way of structuring and building songs, he created this amazing song. That beat just kills me, and the melody is fantastic. it's almost... funky?

Truthfully, the only part I really REALLY liked was the lead... It was decent, yeah, but Four Tet has done so much better in my opinion.

Very very very sweet track. Thanks for the recommendation.

I wouldn't call this his best track ever, but damn is this sweet or what! :)

I tried to get into Four Tet before but that didn't really work out, this track really is amazing though. When this album comes out, I'm surely gonna try again.

Loving this. I haven't really enjoyed anything by Hebden since Rounds. This is definitely fit.

Does that little keyboard melody remind anyone else of 'Final Fantasy VI'?

This is good, very very good.

This is really nice! Parts of the rhythm vaguely remind me of the tribal drumming in Moby's "Alone", and the melody of the juicy high pitch-bending synth makes me think of John Abercrombie's "Timeless".

My one complaint is that it feels excessively long for how repetitive it is; it's a good song as it is, but IMO it could have been a far better one if there had been more melodic variation, either in place of or layered together with the significant use of looped parts.

I more or less agree with Esselfortium here. I like the direction he's going in with this track and the one below it ("Pinnacle"). Sounds like a bit of a throwback to Everything Ecstatic. Definitely not his best track yet, though, IMO.
