Vortex is not just "back in the band" anymore. He is not a "superweapon" anymore. He has found his place again, infusing the whole sound with his presence. He is now again as naturally and organically part of the band as on Archaic Course.
Amazing vibes without being intrusive. I can listen to this while working. It feels chill, meaningful, and has just the right amount of presence. I love it.
