Subterranean valleys and peaks, showcasing the duality of chaos and order, cobbled beats overlaid with environmental recordings and slightly arrhythmic acoustics. M83 and Radiohead without all the distracting overproduction. Personal yet ethereal, places where memories are made, only to decay or change, subtly but significantly, over time. (Despite the shivery strumming acoustics, I suddenly recalled fond memories of old PC MIDI soundtracks like Diablo and Master of Orion, which I hope DOPO takes as a compliment.) A travel-friendly atmosphere, a little melancholy and homesick, but excited for different frontiers. 9/10 --
