I still have 5.25 floppy with my macros on it, but...I'm glad to see someone else mention Telix.. The amount of macros I had on that beast for playing Galactic Empire or Infinity Complex was insane.

This album is a personal nostalgic favorite of mine. A friend who I share a lot of musical interests with, introduced me to this album when it came out. He hooked me by playing Behind the Drapes which is still my favorite track on the album.
I've been a fan of everything else of theirs since. They're an incredible band live and suggest you see them if they play near you. As someone else said, it is second only to The Glass Handed Kites, which is just a stronger album from start to finish. However as an introduction to the band, this is a great starting point.
It has the catchiness of pop 80s groups such as The Outfield at times, yet also has the layered lush sounds of shoegaze bands of the 80s as well.
