I can assure you, there is _much_ more going on on any one track on this
album than "underwater sounds". Excellent production, yes, especially when
they go and sample bats flying out of a cave, slow it down to a snails
pace, and crank up the reverb.
Or when they go and sacre the bejeebers out of you, like on the last track,
toward the beginning, where they fade this minimal resonant tone in and out,
in and out, in and *BBEEEEEIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZOOOOWWWWWWWWWW*, you're AWAKE!

What do you think the point of IDM/Ambient is? Of course they haven't
re-invented the wheel... that's why I (at least) loved the album when it
came out. It sounded _vastly_ different, and had depth. As in, I listened
to it over and over and over, and kept finding new parts of the album that
I hadn't recognized on previous listens.
