#2108 Tortoise - TNT

I downloaded a Tortoise track or two 20 years ago (god!) and had no idea what to make of it.

Now I'm a little more receptive - it's experimental, showy, meandering, but truly beautiful in places, with more heart than Talk Talk and Slint, like some early shadow of Broken Social Scene at their airiest, packed with little details to get lost in. A relief map of your physical brain.

It does kinda sound like a soundtrack at times - but at least it makes me think "yeah, I'd watch this movie" 4/5
