If You Like Brian Eno and My Bloody Valentine ...

Thank for the recommendation, astewart.

I listen to a bit of ambient, shoe gaze and electronica; e.g., Stars of the Lid; Winged Victory for the Sullen; bvdub; Loscil; Slowdive; Tangent; Fort Romeau. Listing all those names just to see if we are talking the same "language".

With respect to that Kraus recording...sampled sections of it. Unfortunately, for me, it seems like ambient interspersed with some very grating noise. Didn’t care for it all that much though I will try it again. Tangent’s "Collapsing Horizons" might be closest to it among the pieces that I do enjoy. None the less, thanks for the suggestion.

Based on comments at the YouTube link, seems quite a few think very highly of it. What do you hear in it that makes it exceptional and what about it do you really like?

It would be great if there were an ongoing (Experimental Music?) thread on A’gon...to include Modern Classical, Electronica, Ambient, etc.

Thanks again for the recommendation.

PS - 
Okay...with earbuds vs my laptop's little speakers at low volume as at first, I hear what he is doing on things like "Bum" and "Games".  There's a melody line with vocal and rhythm track in there under a  lot of distortion.  It's not simply noise.  Can't say this difference is going to turn me into a fan, however.  ;-) 

I agree with @ghosthouse , too much distortion. Bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive are much more melodic. Sorry, I wanted to like it.

@ghosthouse Thanks for taking time to give it a listen. 
@lowrider57 Glad you gave it go.
So, what I hear...the future (I think). Kraus is a one man show, who I believe is channeling Eno for his generation. I agree with @ghosthouse that MBV and Slowdive are more melodic--I believe that was an extension of where "rock" was at the time. Now, I think the teen and 20-something crowd doesn't think life is a melody with a bit of distortion--it is instead chaos with the hint of melody maybe down under all the noise. 
I ran the album by my college aged kids, who are classically musically trained on piano (still playing thank goodness) to get their take. And they really like it. I think this may be where us old people fall off the ride. I generally like the album, but it felt to me like the first pass was a test--was I willing to listen to what was underneath it? I admit that when I first heard Wilco crank the distortion and noise on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot I wasn't surprised because I owned other Wilco albums and you could kind of predict it was coming. But, this album? I think for our age group it may feel like it is too much hash; for younger folks, who yawn at Rage Against the Machine and embrace "screamo", the hash has its own musical value.
In essence, I think it is meant to be ambient and this is today's ambient mood. And in that way, I think it is worth noting. The kid knows what he is doing--and he is doing it alone--the voice is his voice and he is speaking in a way his peers may understand. I don't claim that I fully do.
But, almost every kind of music makes its way into my ears.
I hope this helps explain my reaction to it.
Peace
