I agree - I think Gigantic Days gets the balance between jazziness and electronic-ness exactly right. Desert Scores is an amazing album but isn't an _album_ in the sense that Gigantic Days is, while History..., in a lot of ways, concentrates on complex jazzy arrangements and uses a lot of live instrumentation. Gigantic Days, for me, sits alongside things like Black Dog's Bytes as a strong example of how you can make *amazing* electronic albums.
