I hadn't really been a great fan of Porn Sword Tobacco with his first two efforts, but it must be said that his new album is a great achievement. I don't think this is an album from which you can select a track and enjoy immensely on its own (perhaps with the exception of the 6th track, Cubical Fever, which is insanely good!), the tracks following each other so well making the 14 tracks a fascinating whole. Some might say that it's all too depressing but I would disagree, because there are uplifting melodies sprinkled here and there that make the overall atmosphere uplifting. It's also intriguing how at times New Exclusive Olympic Heights manages to sound very Eastern; but quite like an interpretation of Eastern music rather than a direct example of it. All available thumbs up Porn Sword Tobacco.
