    Its sweeping cinematic scope and all-instrumental tracks recall the lushness of Orbital in their prime. [Oct 2002, p.86]

    The album will wear thin on short-attention-spanned listeners who need their dance albums dosed with a bit more variety. [Aug 2002, p.79]

    The most important electronic album since FSOL's "Dead Cities". Reimagines and redefines what trance is and should be, with nary a snare build or cascading arpeggio to be found. Most highly recommended.… Expand
