Il eut fallu faire aussi long que ce triple album déguisé en compil de chutes et de faces-B des 5 dernières années pour rendre pleinement justice au talent d’Eddie Palmer, désormais seul et ce depuis plusieurs années aux manettes de Cloudwarmer.

Toujours auréolés de titres évocateurs où la satire et l’humour, de préférence noir et pince-sans-rire (I Love Your AI Art Have You Considered Ending Things ?, We Didn’t Know What Would Happen When We Let the Algorithms Out Into The Wild, Can We Melt Down Florida and Use It As Ink To Print New Cities ?, Knifed By Bobby Zamora on the Banks of the Thames, etc) le disputent à l’angoisse et la paranoïa (Embassy of Drowned Villages and Disappeared Persons, It Will Be Dark Soon and They Mostly Come at Night, You Absolutely Belong In This Parade of Horrors, Once Again This Place Is Trying To Break Us), les instrus du New-Yorkais n’ont ici en effet pas grand chose à envier à ceux des meilleurs albums du projet sur cette période - The Covidians Sharpen Their Teeth, The Happening At Groom Lake et le double Gloomers / Doomers en tête.

Faute de temps, on va donc prendre l’exercice à contrepied et faire très court en allant droit au but : il serait tout simplement criminel de passer à côté de cette collection de pépites en téléchargement "prix libre", l’humilité du musicien allant de paire avec son inspiration lorsqu’il s’agit de trousser des vignettes post-trip-hop aux allures de bandes originales imaginaires, qui ne pourront que taper dans l’oreille des amateurs :
- de beatmaking organique au groove rondelet (Today Our Special Is Crushing Dystopian Sadness, You Are Never Alone With A Cigarette), entre deux pics de tension (Okay Zoomer Fck Off Zoomer Fck Off, A Shopper’s Guide To Urban Catastrophes) et autres incursions drum’n’bass (Truly Honored To Not Have Your Support) voire dub aux entournures (Just Paid Rent Now I Have A Place To Starve In, Pyramid General Cemetery Company) ;
- de samples rétro singuliers réminiscents du regretté duo The Fucked Up Beat (I Know The World Reasonably Well and I Am Right About Everything, Library of Dust I Will Not Be Dying There, We Sent Two Acoustic Specialists to Investigate the Sound) ;
- de basses assassines (un peu partout) ;
- d’atmosphères tantôt planantes (Blacked Out at the Charlton Sainsbury’s with Alan Pardew), jazzy (The World Ended Quietly and Without Much Resistance, Devices Larger Than The Rooms That Contain Them, Bury Me In Cleveland I Need Something To Believe In), futuristes (Exploratory Land Archive of the Feral American Suburbs, We Need Fewer Gardens and More Shipwrecks) ou insidieuses (A Terrifying and Lovely Day in Deathpool, If The Sky Is Geography Then How Do We Map It ?) ;
- sans oublier les replis ambient aussi intrigants qu’immersifs de Center For Mapping Deserted Highways Empty Hotel Rooms and Residential Office Space, Blackwell Oklahoma May 25 1955 ou Then You Burst Into Fire, pour n’en citer que trois.

Un monument !
