    Atmospheric, but not particularly memorable or exciting.

  1. Unfortunately there are too many moments where the pace flags, however, and Lavelle, while not exactly running out of ideas, falls back on the familiar ones.
  2. Somewhere between Ennio Morricone, Talk Talk and late-period Massive Attack, it is atmospheric, if relentlessly bleak, with the exception of cult director Abel Ferrara's imitation of Bob Dylan on 'Open Up Your Eyes'.
  3. UNKLE are good at gothic bombast and when they pile on the strings they produce densely atmospheric pieces such as 'Cut Me Loose.'
