I heard the (I think) previous album, the one with Saturn on the cover...
I was so annoyed for it sounds like Bill just trying to cash in on the
Ambient thing. I mean, 2001/HAL 9000 samples? I thought that the Shamen
exhausted that one back in 1989.(Actually, they did it brilliantly
"phorward"). And lots of (by that time) typical space samples. Sampling
liberally from Vangelis' 1492 soundtrack didn't help in the originality
department. This short new album description leaves me wondering if he
creates anything of his own. I haven't heard any of the Oliver Leeb
stuff, but I would guess that it sounds like someone else with technoed
Front Line Assembly bits garnished overtop.
But this is my opinion and is not a judgement call on you buying the album
or liking it.
