Some albums truly stand the test of time. I first heard "Neon Golden" by The Notwist over 11 years ago, and it has only gotten better with repeat listens. Everything about it comes together to make a perfect record: the glitchy beats, the warm production, the simplistic lyrics and the sequencing of the tracks combine into a melancholic yet comforting soundscape. These songs are just as appropriate for dancefloors as they are bedroom listening or cross-town headphone immersion. Fans of The Postal Service or any of the Morr Music acts will find a lot to love here. If you like electronic music with just a touch of sadness and introspection, you won't want to pass this up.
The version I have uploaded is the US import with 3 additional bonus tracks.
