For such an often sinister- and dark-sounding album, it really fits well with a sunny day.
I was thinking what a great sunny day album it is, which is weird because I've always assosciated it with rainy cold nights because around the time it came out I saw them in Seattle during the winter and I just remember driving around in the fog and rain with it on.

Listening to slowdive-souvlaki now
I guess one thing that's so good about that album tonally is that I can totally see how it would fit in with rainy cold nights (and how it'd 'sound' completely different 'in my mind'). They're a great band to listen to to emphasise certain surrounding environments -- I once listened to the Focus Group collaboration in a university library while looking through falling-apart books and ancient journals for an assignment. Fit SO damn well.
Dunno if anyone has heard of Huron. He's an IDM producer from Germany I believe. Anyway, I been listening to his albums Fossilized and Colourdays. Top notch stuff!
Just picked this up yesterday (HC has been on my "to buy" list for maybe a year now, shame on me) - Sort of "scary" / horror movie soundtracky. Very, very good. Looking forward to picking up the rest of his albums.
