why "used to"? i think they still do. if you have the quality, style and feeling for music - then you just HAVE it; they do for sure

 | RA Review Here's an irony: Gus Gus used to be on 4AD, that one-time visual/aural bulwark of the dark and grim. But now that the Icelandic group have joined Kompakt, they've released their most positively glacial album yet. 24/7 is stripped down in all possible ways: now a trio (of Daniel Ágúst, Stephan Step..

| #8 / Mon, 07 Dec 09 18:05 Well now I have the album and I am pleasantly surprised. Track one is brilliant - especially the first 3 minutes (which stands strong as it's on track so a quick edit is worthwhile). All in all I like it a lot. Glacial ... yeah in parts but does lack some of the arctic chill I was hoping for but hey .... It's more techy front works for me though and beautifully & cleanly recorded. Much better then their last two.

I love the fact they just let the tracks get twisted into themselves for 10+ minutes.
Great stuff.
