Goodness, I picked it up las t week and I am quite impressed with it.
Although the cost was a steep 20 bucks, and its not even a doublepack (!!),
I think it is quite worth it. There are a total of 8 tracks on the album. As
far as house music goes, I would describe it as deep and experimental. Not
your typical four four and a sample shit.
The tracks differ in key and bpms and have plenty of atmosphere and strange
organ doodles. The best track on there is an 11 minute number called
"Dolphin Dance" or somehting (Im at work, so I cant provide definite titles ; )
After being dropped by his label, this is a great "comeback" of sorts.
Experimental house.
