Musically Induced Simplistic Reminiscing

All stitched together with the simple tap of an electronic drum, a series of layered rhythms with the piano, violin, acoustic guitar, xylophone – and what I think is that plastic thing that looks like a clarinet I got in 3rd grade – “Mike Mills” by Air creates song for reminiscing before stepping into the future. The song has a couple long excursions into repetitiveness, but is laced with subtle complexities. A lot of the intricacies are only noticeable if you pay close attention, making the song an exercise in listening that doesn’t fully pay off. But it makes for good wall paper music – good enough for something to listen to while working, for example. If they cut the song in half, it would have made it much stronger.
