DOUBLE IN DETAIL


While discussing the emotional intimacy that myself and others experience while listening to  Double Night Time, one friend offered the words that fit the mood:  This album IS love. 
Whether it be an overbearing rush of tears or joy, or a whole hearted realization that with music like this, one will never be alone in the world, I can't remember the last time a full length album conjured up such an overwhelming array of feelings.

Perhaps part of the emotional attachment to the album comes from having read a series of recent interviews with the seemingly embittered Morgan Geist. Notably the much talked about resident advisor interview, which appears to have set the dismal tone for which other on line magazines and blogs alike have based their reviews from. My favourite contrastive take is the more recent interview on Tim Sweeney's beatsinspace radio show. It was definitely refreshing to hear Morgan outright laugh at himself while speaking in a much lighter tone than in any preceeding interview. Of course behind their hours long banter, Morgan provides an obscure italo disco infused music lesson, and as with all beatsinspace radio shows, there is a provided play list so you can happily hunt down the necessary classics.
