    It has the sound you'd expect from The Field, only fuller. It's a deeper, more sensational electronic universe that I can't help but be drifted away to, even more so than the other two albums. It definitely won't leave you with a feeling of disappointment if you enjoyed the past two albums. I'd definitely say it's the best of the three. Listen to it!

    Addictive, mesmerising bliss. As good as his first and better than the second. The layers on the title track are pure euphoria. I can get lost in this for hours.

    You can always count on The Field to make a great album. But this even surpasses their previous albums. They have matured and the album appears more confident and assured. Track Arpeggiated Love is a masterpiece. In my Top 5 so far for 2011.

    A strangely addictive album. Unforgivably repeatitive at times, I suppose the title says it all. But an album that must be heard to be appreciate. The opening song starts and you wonder when the change will kick in but you end up so immersed in the bouncing sound you don't realise the song has finished! One of my favourite albums of 2011.

    Didn't know what to expect as I listened to it as a new release on Spotify. Never heard the earlier albums. Love it. So many levels. Waves of sound layered on hypnotic beats. What a foot-tapper.

    Boundless and ecstatic, this is house music at its very best. [Dec. 2001 p. 126]

    As alluring and dreamlike as anything from Willner's first two full-lengths.

    The inanely literalistic Looping State of Mind magnifies that trend [toward expansionism], offering seven mutations of his trademark sound, in a newly expansive array of tempos. [#82, p. 55]
