Absolutely gorgeousMore folk than electronic (at least compared to Four Tet, etc.), this is all strummed and fingerpicked guitars with a little glitchy accent here or there, and occasional tape-loop voices from instructional records (reminiscent of The Books). The tranquil, mellow rural vibe here is all their own, though, with a Bert Jansch or Richard Thompson British folk influence that lends it a depth that other "folktronica" acts can't deliver. Lyrics are good, too, and actually an important part of the music …
Good music, with some irritating spoken word samplesI am a big fan of Beta Band, and I like music that has a variety of things going on. Another one that I like with samples is Moby from the late 90s. I heard a few of Tunng's songs on an internet music site, and liked them well enough to buy the album. That said, after I had given it a listen a couple of times, the samples became a focus of the music and actually detracted from it rather than added to it. It's a small thing, but it makes the album unlistenable for me. If I could take those things off it, I might be able to listen to it.
