Well, I'll post a more detailed review later on, but basically: - hard to believe that after recording for 15 years this is his first full-length solo record, isn't it? - It's a very classy piece of work. It's got a very polished feel to it, which puts off some people but hey, Atkins isn't a 20-year old kid pumping out four-track tapes in his basement so I don't think he should have to try to sound like one to be "street", do you? - _Deep Space_ continues the move towards jazzy timbres and structures of the last few Model 500 EPs (Jazz is the Teacher, Sonic Sunset). - It's very good. -- dave walker, detroit art services _ marmoset@conch.aa.msen.com born freeke <A HREF="http://www.msen.com/~marmoset/">Dave Walker</A>
