This album is nasty. It's full of heavy, dirty, reverberating beats that pound through the speakers. They mix that with low, thick bass lines and beautiful strings to make an amazingly well crafted album. It seems to go back to a dark and hardcore trip hop sound that I have not heard in a while. I picked it up without even knowing who this was and I dont regret one second of it. If you like dark, epic sounding moods with disgusting beats then this is a must buy.

Teargas and Plateglass is by far the best thing i have heard from the music industry in ages. Their beautifully done tracks leap off the cd and into your ears to get you in a trance. My friend describes them as "the sort of creepy music you would hear in horror movies, but actually worth listening to"..
Simply speaking, this album is doubly worth its weight in gold.

teargas & plateglass is simply amazing with their stylistic dark textures and funkadelic rhythms. they draw you in and take you on a thought provoking journey towards the darkest recesses of your mind. it's the soundscape for the not-so-distant future. it's visionary... images from the works of philip k. dick and william gibson fill my head as I listen... it's dirty and broken, menacing and fearless... it sings praises to the microprocessor while it bashes circuitry with a hammer in time with the music... the string orchestra dressed in wrinkled gray garments, faces streaked with sweat and dirt, dragging thin metal bows over custom built instruments laced with new and ancient technologoies which are hard wired into a mainframe to collect the data... the wind blowing through abandoned windowless skyscrapers in tune with the whole movement. my favorite tracks from this album are "an adagio for tandems stacked", "adam's lullaby", "the seduction of canned laughter", and "haengyong"... although all of them are quite good. this is one album that you need to own.

I love the movie Dark Knight, and people talk about how there's no way that movie could be any better. They are wrong. Chris Nolan could have used this album as the soundtrack, and the motion picture that would have resulted would have been ten times darker and ten times iller.

This album is so sick that it basically makes everything else a waste of hard drive space or plastic. Not that I don't like any other music, it's just that the music of Teargas and Plateglass is so visceral, so primal, so GODDAMN DARK and dominating. It will turn you evil. It's what Darth Vader listens to when he's cruising around in his curved wing tie fighter laying down the Dark Side on fools.

Ridiculous beats laid against the darkest orchestral scoring pulled from the depths of hell. There is not a glimmer of light to be found in the swamp of T&P, and the result is the most epic, cinematic music of all time.

If you really wanna mess with yourself, drive around at night in a dark hilly area with no headlights and listen to this. You will swear that you are being stalked by vampiric werewolves or that the devil is waiting for you around every bend.
