    Despite seven unessential bonus tracks, the remastered Ghosts feels haunting, hypnotic and fresh 25 years later. [14 Apr 2006, p.87]

    It's a pity that the immaculate construction that is Ghosts now has an extension tacked on to it. [Apr 2006, p.119]

    A pioneering work for countless styles connected to electronic, ambient, and third-world music.

    The songs sound as modern and fresh as if they were recorded last year.

    Simply put, in 2006, My Life is a timeless evaluation of Assimilation, sometimes harmless, sometimes bleak, but consistently absorbing.

    Crucial parts of the album don't sound as intriguing today as they once did-- namely, all of the voices.... On the other hand, the rhythm tracks still kick ass 10 ways to Sunday.

    Basically, this is the definitive (if incomplete) version of a landmark release.

    Everyone from Duran Duran to Blue Man Group and modern electronic music owes this record more than a debt of gratitude.
