Review by Max Ruppersburg

Tarwater's album 1996-2002 is a collection of their best work from the first six years of their career. The album is a journey through the band's evolution, showcasing their unique blend of electronic and acoustic sounds.

The album opens with "All of the Ants Left Paris," a haunting track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the listener is taken on a journey through the band's early work, with tracks like "To Describe You" and "The Watersample" highlighting their experimental approach to music-making.

As the album progresses, the band's sound becomes more refined, with tracks like "Stone" and "The Trees" showcasing their ability to blend electronic and acoustic elements seamlessly. The album closes with "The Tape," a beautiful and introspective track that leaves the listener feeling both satisfied and reflective.
