Soulful Filling adds some unique twists to the genre, incorporating some instruments not usually found in electronica, namely steel guitars and violins. There are some sparse vocals as well. The visceral experience is enhanced by Kirsch’s willingness to push the boundaries and expand the notion of what ambient and donwtempo are. And that’s ultimately what makes good music, well good. It’s either doing the same old thing extremely well or making it sound just a little fresh. Soulful Filling might not be the music you listen to during your morning workout, but it might be just the thing for the after-workout sauna.

Nice review. General Fuzz has been a favorite at Echoes for years. Regarding your correction: You might want to further correct that James is actually a San Francisco-based musician and most of his music has been made staring out at Golden Gate Park.
