I bought the import double CD and have been going back and forth about this
album for quite sometime. On the one hand, I feel it is an impressive work
that holds my respect for its emotion, motion and artistry. On the other
hand, some of it is just too cheesy for me. Another part of my problem with
it is that I prefer less vocals and more linear phrases rather than a bunch
of tired rhythm & blues harmonies over breakbeats. I also wish that it was
harder overall. However, I regularly put these biases aside to try to enjoy
some of the groundbreaking music that this album definitely contains. I am
also eagerly awaiting to see what comes next. From what I understand, the
double CD version is far superior to the single disc ( sort of like the Orbs
first record ). If you live in the SF bay area, the Virgin megastore has lots
of the 2CD version.
Here is the 2CD tracklisting :
Goldie - Timeless ( Metalheads/FFrr Records )
disc one :
1. Timeless - 21:01
2. Saint Angel - 7:14
3. State of Mind - 7:05
4. This is a Bad - 5:56
5. Sea of Tears - 12:03
6. Jah the Seventh Seal - 6:36
disc two :
1. A Sense of Rage ( Sensual V.I.P. mix ) - 7:05
2. Still Life - 10:50
3. Angel - 4:56
4. Adrift - 8:29
5. Kemistry - 6:48
6. You & Me - 7:04
If someone else could please post the single disc track info for comparison
it would be appreciated.

PS - Goldie's music can be IDM, Jungle, & Popular - not always at the same
time, but at its best when it is.
