I don't remember where I first heard about Gold Panda, but this is absolutely one of my favorite albums of 2010. I'm not entirely up on all genres, fads and labels of what the kids are listening to these days but I try to be aware of electronic music I might like, and this just floored me in a way a lot of 'popular'/trendy music is forgotten as soon as it's over. This is abstract while never being less than musical, and it's full of sounds that are at once organic and otherworldly. Stunning and tuneful.
