Here's a review I did for my website.

I've never purchased any of Drexciya's releases on CD but I own a couple
EP's on vinyl and I'm familiar with his appearances on various compilations.
I know Drexciya = electro but in reality I couldn't sit around and talk shop
about his life's work.
Glad I am to now have this superb release to talk about with my fellow
shoegazers. In a word, this album is Fly; supa dupa fly. I half expected it
to be more breakbeat electro (in the vein of Aux 88) but the majority of the
tracks here are straight 4/4 which makes sense as it's being released on
Tresor Berlin.
It's amazing how much can be said for a really unpleasant album and how
little can be said of a thoroughly enjoyable album such as this. What I can
say however is that it's great and is sure to become an oft-played classic
in my collection as well as receiving plenty of airtime here at StaticBeats.
If I could rename the album I'd probably call it "Pieces in a Modern
Style" because really, that's what it is classic electro given the modern
treatment for 2002. Recommended.
