I've begun to regret wasting $17 on the piece of trite of an album. "Timeless," albeit is a bit on the light side of the whole "drum'n'bass" kick, is lightyears ahead, imo. Still very enjoyable by me. As for Saturn.. That's a different story. The first CD is *totally* throw-away music. Track one is a 60 minute tribute to his mother.. 5 minutes of which are non-repetitive to a *slight* degree (when he brings in the breakbeats.. 25 or so minutes into the song, at least). The second track is pretty much a poor attempt at ambient music with R&B vocals. Disc 2... Slightly less bland. "Digital" is an alright track. Nice bass; generic breakbeats, but you don't notice it as much due to the layering and KRS-ONE's vocals (which aren't half as good as KRS's solo stuff, imo-- Get his "I Got Next" LP if you're interested in more of him.). "Chico: Death of a Rockstar" and "Temper Temper" are the only other 2 songs on the double-LP which I can listen to.. The rest is genero-jungle, increbily repetative R&B, or pseudo-ambience. Goldie could've done *a lot* better. Hell, *I* could've done a lot better. I think I have, in fact... -- andrij.
