I really wanted to enjoy this album more than I did. Although I find individual moments on Tarot Sport pleasant enough, I wonder quite why the band gets so hyped as there is very little here that is genuinely innovative or challenging - for me the best moments are the shorter interludes which recall latter day Black Dice, but without that band's edginess. The longer tracks drag to around 10 minutes to make their point, but all they seem to do is layer new bits of distortion on top of the rudimentary major key keyboard figures and tribal drums. Nothing really happens - you end up at much the same point as you started only it's got louder and fuzzier. Having said all of this, the production is cool, and there are lovely bits, but If you are after noise with a tribal drive go and search out Yellow Swans (RIP)- the albums Psychic Seccession, Live at War Crimes or Drift all offer similar pulse but with far more interesting noises.

If you can imagine underworld with out the singing set to a heavy ambiunt background then your half way there. Drink/smoke, turn of the lights, turn up the volume, sit back and enjoy the sounds.

I far prefer this to their first album which at time was like the Amazonian jungle.This album is a beautifully crafted set of tone poems and extremely relaxing.Undulating in long waves melodic electronica.A truely relaxing experience from beginning to the very end.

Instrumental 10 min songs all slow builders constant drone / wall of noise / absolutely not one break (even between songs) Very uplifting lots of layers to pick out on multiple listens extremely trancey and soothing yet thumping at the same time. similar in my collection to Spiritualised live and My Bloody Valentine (but am sure there are better examples of similarities). Buy if you like eclectic, electric, lack of vocals, long building songs.

"Street Horrrsing" was a great record, but Tarot Sport is a cut above. Perhaps surprisingly, it's also a welcoming album--alongside such gems as Towers of Asia's "Something Something", this is definitely a high point of 2009.
