I have far away trains and a few singles & I'm w/ you. I think his melodies and synth work are really great - reminds me a little of some old 4AD stuff. But his beats are really cold, thin, simple, and overly quantized for my taste (in general.. although i've heard exceptions on a few standout tracks). They sound like cheap casio wannabe hip-hop beats or something... kinda ruins it for me - either stick with 4-4 beats or get some really well produced broken stuff, but half-assed break beats are weak.. p
