I could not agree with you more. That album has been
a mainstay of mine since July of 2001. In my opinion,
it represents a near perfect synthesis of the very IDM
elements that drew most of us to the genre in the
first place. Andrei gave a right-on description so I
won't go further. There are some tracks that
absolutely kill me; "Tauq 2" is the "Alberto Basalm"
for the new millenium. That album makes me so happy
and pensive and sad and everything all at once- truly
emotive work. It's worth anyone's time and money.
