AndyRMay 2, 2007Just when I thought trance had had it's day. The Field do it just the way I like it.

wutherfMay 2, 2007to those who can't understand why this is so good - stick to verse chorus verse if you like, but this is a soundscape you can get lost in, where every listen reveals something new.

AndyPMay 2, 2007This is a stunning album which, as an earlier reviewer said, becomes unbelievably good when played through headphones. There is so much going on, that although it could be classed as minimal, every listen reveals new fabrics and layers. I particularly love Mobilia - it just pummels my brain into submission every time I hear it. Album of the year so far without question.

KyleMay 1, 2007Is this a massive april fool's joke? I was unfortunate enough to buy this steaming turd of an album based on the metacritic score and can't believe my ears. How could this be the best reviewed album of 2007? I would rather be punched in the face for an hour than listen to this thing again.

waymanrMay 1, 2007Are you serious? Can't live without this trite drivel? Astounding that one would even suggest such a notion. It is elementary at best and worth a few spins at some clubs in Europe. It sounded like my old 8-bit nintendo playing Mario Brothers.

SteveCMay 1, 2007Has a couple of nice moments. Someone's been hacking Kate Bush up, which always triggers a warm feeling...

boneykingApr 30, 2007this will be one of the top five albums of this year without a doubt.

RyanApr 30, 2007There are better albums of this genre than this, but I would assume all those giving it negative reviews (i.e. calling it boring and repetitive) only happened to listen to this because it was rated highly on popular music websites. If I am incorrect about this, forgive me, but guys, its ok to listen to other genres sometimes lololol

AlexPApr 30, 2007AMAZING!!! One of the best electronic album ever!

RockofGibraltarApr 29, 2007I don't get why this album has a 95 avg score! It doesn't break new ground and is extremely repetitive!

DanielAApr 27, 2007This is highly overrated.

oolon_colluphidcolluphidApr 27, 2007for once, just for once - the reviews do not do justice to this album; even with a metascore of 95. this is electronica at its finest. just when you started thinking whether the genre has moved significantly since kraftwerk, comes an album that future may deem to be as significant in evolution of electronica as kraftwerk.

LeanderSApr 26, 2007This is a good album.

AlanRApr 26, 2007Repetitive? It's house. Every track has a 4/4 beat. Where else could they go?

RickmanJApr 24, 2007s'good! lush and lovely.

GrahamWApr 22, 2007No idea why this is getting such rave reviews, agree with Evan, it is extremely repetitive, sounds like a cd skipping. Certainly not a 95.

pringlesrApr 22, 2007sustained flawlessness.

DaveApr 21, 2007You people are lemmings, this muisc is so boring, think for yourselves

BretronApr 21, 2007This is techno at its very finest, and is hands down the best techno album to come out in years. I'd be surprised if any album (regardless of genre) could beat this out for Record of the Year. It gives me the same feeling as hearing "Born Slippy" for the first time, only there

GazApr 20, 2007Not sure what the fuss is about. Sounds the B-side of a Paul van Dyk single from the late 90s. Seriously.

DarylSApr 19, 2007Anyone played Lumines on PSP? This albums would be right at home on that game, luckily I love the music on the game and this album is much better than a lot of that. Good album, good purchase.

BigglesApr 19, 2007Just astounding. Utterly sumptuous and addictive, it gets better with each listen. If you are at all interested in minimal electronic music you must seek this out.

ToddWApr 19, 2007As close to a perfect album as you're going to get, so far, this year. Unfortunately, the social rejects who buy "music" these days at the slaughterhouse mass production stores like FYE portends that this masterwork won't buy Willner much studio time when his muse again comes calling.

RobMApr 19, 2007Absolutely incredible. Axel's influences are wide ranging. Despite the face that many of the tracks have essentially the same structure, it ticks all my boxes!

YepaJApr 19, 2007Not for beat geeks, nor for those easily scared at music not following conventional pop/rock song structure. For the rest of us, highly recommended.

-
RyanMApr 18, 2007Easily some of the best music I've heard this year. The only record in recent memory that I have listened to back to back multiple times. Sure to be at the top of anyones 2007 list.

If you like minimal electronic music at all, you must seek it out.

This is one of those rare albums that makes you wonder how you ever got by without it.

This is an album you could easily hate -- especially if you like things like change and development.
