His music is filled with influences from everything I’ve ever admired (shoegazer + downtempo electro + samplings). A Letter from Home really transports you into another world and On My Own feels like a cool alien invasion adventure. Like… the aliens didn’t turn out to be that bad and they have their culture to share with us type thing.
All these can be found on his 2003 album A Strangely Isolated Place.

This guy really flew under the radar with a few music blogs and I really don’t understand why. I guess you can’t really ‘dance’ to this.
