one of the best albums I've ever bought. Don't know what else to say, Xtal, Ageispolis & Actium are amazing, no downsides to this album so what are you waiting for? Buy it now!
the most perfect electronic ambient record of all time. - By: gregorthethird, 21 Apr 2008 ...yes...easily....15 years on & you still hear snatches of this iconic albumin everything electronic. Boy Genius Richard D James created the most perfect, gentle, epic (and sometimes quietly agressive) brooding electronica. To say this album is iconic is an understatement. If you're reading this review & you don't think you're aware of this record - you're wrong...or you've been hiding away from all music & media for the last 15 years - it's easily one of the most important electronic albums of all time (ranking amongst giants such as Jean Michelle Jarr - The Art of Noise - hell...even the prodigy admit to being influenced by aphex twin)
This is simply a 'perfect' album.in 100 years you could argue that people will mention Richard D Jamesin the same breath as Bach....that sounds like a serious overstatement...but buy this record RIGHT NOW & you'll understand why. I hate the word genius...but this is genuinely genius. (and that's a habit that Mr Richard D James has seldom broken)
BUY THIS RECORD!!! It will genuinely enhance your life...and that's not a joke.
The best bar none - By: P. Hogg, 29 Mar 2008 This was Richard James masterpiece before he even went on solids. Brilliant albums & songs later this is still the most cohesive he has done
A masterpiece of the genre... - By: R. V. Halward, 11 Mar 2008 If you don't have this incredible record, buy it immediately.
If you're at all into electronica/IDM/Techno, this is one of the defining records of the genre, & one you'll come back to again & again.
Track after track of gorgeous, melodic, beat inspired electronica. Largely recorded onto cassette, giving it an intimate, analog feel, this is intelligent techno at it's very best & still stands as RDJ's best album.
One of my favourite records of all-time...
