Notes
Credits from back inlay: "Created and processed by The Advent (Cisco Ferreira & Colin McBean) at Akoma Works, London (except 02* which was created by Cisco Ferreira and CJ Bolland)."
*The tracks are numbered on the inlay as A1-A8 and B1-B8, presumably this refers to the second track on disc one.
Sleeve lists several incorrect track durations, 1-1: 6:23 / 1-3: 7:59 / 1-4: 6:40 / 1-5: 6:37, as well as erroneously giving 2-1 as "Farencounters (Edit Mix)" with a duration of 5:00.
Also released as a 1CD 12-track version (TRUDC8) and as a remix album called Shaded Elementz (TRUCDR8).

Reviews & Discussion
This is a rare and recommended CD for the techno/trance collector. The Advent produced some amazing music for this album, maintaining a techno focus whilst mixing in dub and trance elements.
The only weakness of this album is one shared by many techno albums - sparse techno can be repetitive when an album is listened to end-to-end.
Standout tracks for me are 'Spaceism', 'Audio Illusion', 'Heights' and 'City Limits'.
