much as it pains me to disagree with teep (and i know you won't take this personally, given that we agree on pretty much everything else), i just have to rush to the defense here. i just can't see a track like "survivors" as "acid by numbers" or "motionless"... in fact, i think it's easily one of the most innovative tracks i've heard all year. and it does go through some wild mutations before busting out into one of the all time feel good dance climaxes. trance? i don't think so. ok, granted the title track and dzhopa dream are more on the typical trancedance tip but everything else on the album more than makes up for it. i just can't say it strongly enough: this album is 2nd only to Future Sound Of London in my Top 10 of the year. i've been listening to it continuously since it arrived. fifteen thumbs up. /jon
