    The LP is merely a collection of somewhat compelling, hip-hop-leaning beats that largely go nowhere; it's more like a dressed-up beat tape, and not a particularly exciting one at that.

    Spurts and spasms of luxurious sound and compelling reference, however, do not make for a great album and, mostly, the record plods.

    The songs don’t really go anywhere, but they don’t need to--it’s the psychic tone that matters, not any sort of hooks, and the blissful state they produce comes from simply enjoying them in the moment.

    This is just a lot of well produced but unenjoyable noise.

    In its totality, Back on the Planet works as a decent upgrade from Spacebase, despite its weird results.

    At times, the blend is less than palatable and, frankly, too busy, as on the title track. However, this franticness is occasionally contrasted by a song that manages to draw you in.

    An amazing journey from the outer limits to street level with a wormhole in the middle, Back on the Planet is stellar.
