Shout outs to Larry Levan and Anita Dobson should guarantee any record a permanent place on the TD stereo – Kindness’ first LP after disappearing into the ether two years ago arrives with an unfair level of expectation. Nonetheless, outside of some WTF moments like the warpy mind tricks of Cyan and the slap-bass whack of Doigsong, World’s failure to marry sumptuous textures to a pop sensibility renders it a collection of hypnagogic slop.
