The video to Subliminal is up on Youtube now. It's a lot like the Lovebeat video.
These songs are in the vein of the Lovebeat album as well, albeit maybe a bit more spacey sounding. But the Kraftwerk-ish sound is still predominantly there. At this point I'd prefer something a little more organic and less cold like on the pre-Lovebeat albums. Nevertheless it is good to finally see music be released by him again. I did listen to the soundtrack, but apart from two tracks (Wave Motion and Tiptoeing) it didn't really do much for me.
I hope you can catch a gig from him and report back to us. Or maybe you saw him at Fuji Rock Festival? Get video if you can!
Thanks for your hard work here, Patrick. Cheers from Idaho.

Please excuse the late reply. Thanks for pointing out the video on YouTube!
I saw him live a year ago and it was a great show. You can read my report here:
