    It's cool to be kind in the hope. I almost said "made with love" but you can never go back.

    This is a body of work that takes its time to build itself up, there are some interesting choices of sounds and loops right here with an interesting vision too, but this experiment and ambient exploration shifts itself so widely that it can lose any kind of sense of focus. I do would recommend giving it a try, just to get to know the right way of exploring and creating a sense of space,This is a body of work that takes its time to build itself up, there are some interesting choices of sounds and loops right here with an interesting vision too, but this experiment and ambient exploration shifts itself so widely that it can lose any kind of sense of focus.

    This review contains spoilers. This album is actually realllyyy reallly bad. It’s just so boring. Common land: boring. (Mind you most popular) the album opens with: you are in the clearing which is sooo bad. And ends with the song: you can never go back. Which is not only bad but also such a corny title to end the album with. Def a must NOT listen… Collapse

    This is something special. Listen to it all, initially might sound overcrowded, but bear with it, get drawn in and by the time you hit track 7 'Continuous Revolution', you'll know its a work of art painted by a genius. Old school trance with super transcendental vibes but so new at the same time. Some of it even reminds me of Mike Oldfield. Headphones on for this masterpiece.

    Imagine This Is a High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities is perhaps the furthest-out release in a discography full of inventive, inspired music, and it's some of Holden's most exciting and impressive work.

    Imagine This is a High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities is one of those rare records that is very long but doesn’t seem to have an idle moment. The album becomes deeper and more rewarding with each consecutive track.

    The album does a good job of rekindling the connection with our younger, hopeful selves.
