"These Hopeful Machines" is certainly not electronic milestone, although BT is a pioneer in his profession. But when cares? The plate is just awesome. Brian Transeau's music is like a piece of electronic chocolate, a Feuewerk of melodies and gimmicks: strings and breaks, guitars and soft vocals, perfectly and very varied. A Pleasure. For dancing, dreaming, chilling. I highly recommend this drive to anyone who really any because BT's work is a love letter to music.
