In a few cases this might be true, but there's so much filler on the
album. Tracks like "Edgar Allen," "Strange Hill" (sounding very much
like a blatant rip off of Hardfloor's "Hardtrance Acperience") "The Big
Issue" and a few more just don't go anywhere. And the real gems, like
"Euthanasia," "Disench" following by "Minour" just don't have the time
to really explore the full potential of their musical form. Granted, the
second half of the album is starting to grow on me...but i just don't
like finding myself pressing the ">" button on my CD player to advance
past to dull monotoneous filler. Maybe those are tracks for the
commercial developers to fight over.
