It's a nice album. Black D'artangnon, Mooz, and Azura are wonderful tracks. I think the most noticeable different on the new album from previous material is Graham Massey's addition of drum'n bass rhythms in the bassline. It works really well on Azura, with plenty of bass wobble and smooth rippling that put me in shock the first time I heard it. Without a doubt however there is some real crapola on the album. And Massey's choice of female vocalist styles shows all too well that he's been going through Bjork withdrawal. In all, a humbling but still worthy 7.5/10.
