This is a very beautiful record...if you need a category, put it in
the 'ambient dub trip-hop' bin.
Its 12 long songs of serene and melodic stuff...very head-nodding.
...and that's a GOOD thing.
A lot of it has an 'epic' sound to it...hard to explain except to
compare it to some of the massive attack stuff like 'unfinished
symphony', or some of the stuff on Pork, but not cornball epic
cheesey like this Robert Miles dude.
...but to give it that *edge*, it also has offbeat rhythms, some really
quiet moments, alien sounds, and some technohouse.
This may be near the top of my list for 1996.
