Wonderful... Perfect as background music to get me through a rainy, miserable winter day in the office!

New stuff on RP from Wicklow's finest - nice to hear. For those who think this is "new age", I suspect you're not hearing the undertones of menace and dread in this and other God is an Astronaut tracks, and you surely don't know what they're about. I love their subtlety and understated emotion, the quality of the instrumentals, and of course that they come from my home county :). 8 from the Nottingham jury.

This song was playing while I explained to my almost-seven year-old daughter why she can't even joke about running away. I explained to her that she only knows nice people but there are mean people out there. People who hurt kids, and maybe even kill them. I showed her the website for the Center for Missing and Exploited kids, and did a quick google image search for "missing kids". Now we're all in tears and I hope that in some way she understands how serious this is. So in a weird way, this song made sense to have in the background.
 
Okay, that was weird. But I'm glad it made sense (?).

Just like your comments. Radio Paradise comment boards are not censored so anybody can comment on Radio Paradise, even those like you, who are so thoroughly mistaken.

Eno invented ambient and New Age music, but has since distanced himself from it saying,

"Not enough menace."

This is exactly why something like this is boring. 
 
Uh no.

Eno invented ambiant music.

it differs from this new age crap.

You don't need to listen in order to understand the difference.

Just accept that this is not of the same ilk as ambiant and is hardly related.

...Every time I hear a God Is An Astronaut track I get goose pimples, and this is no exception. Smooth, crisp minimalism, with underlying hints of menace and tragedy (doncha just love minor keys?). ...
 
Yes, indeedy!!! {#Yes}

Wonderful segue from Vienna Teng's Watershed. 
And it's nice to hear something other than "Remembrance Day" from them.  It is nice, in a film score sort of way.

For the gamers among us (if there are any), the first minutes remind me a lot of the soundtrack of the PlayStation 2 classic "ICO".
