Review by dexterfeng Jan 12, 2004
And this is how America came to know the strange man known as the Aphex Twin. There are a few beat driven tracks here. This is dream house music. Equal parts Brian Eno Apollo and Spacemen 3 dreamweapon. It's like Steven Halpern after hanging out with Bez of the Mondays (when he was their dealer/dancer) at the end of a three week bender.
The music made by a power plant at 4 a.m. when no-one's looking.
Rated 4/5
Review by Koba_no_Gomi Sep 28, 2002
A warm collection of synthetic textures. If I recall correctly, there are no drums anywhere on the album. Some synth sequences are used (that establish a driving rhythm), but, it's more of a "true ambient" album. If I had to call one album as demonstrating a Brian Eno influence, this would be it. But, despite that, it is it's own thing. Aphex uses his own style of chord progressions (more concrete evidence of these appear in Drukqs).
