Limited to 1000 copies (mine is number 580), 2007's Sketchi would represent the more ambient/experimental side of Ryjan Kidwell's Cex. I really enjoy this album as a nice chillout/thinking kind of album that also has complexities, rich soundscapes, and depth. The eight songs are all easy to get lost in and each one takes time time to develop and exist with the shortest track being 5:41 and the longest at 10:25. Kidwell's style is complimented nicely with appearances by wife Roby Newton and Cale Parks (Joan of Arc and Aloha). I also always appreciate Kidwell's sense of humour as shown on the cover which is a take on the poster for the the movie Twins. Favorite Tracks: Rattler Bin, Camber Sands, Oregon Ridge, and God Blessing
