Review by stuarte Oct 27, 2009

referencing Ex Machina, CD, Album, PFG097CD

Long time since his first LP and what memorable one that was. Departure in Time is one of the finest Detroit albums to not come out of the D, without a doubt.
On his sophomore effort has delivered are incredibly good album, however it does not compare to Departures.
To call some of it trance would be misleading, as trance has become a caricature of what it was, the music is definitely hypnotic in parts though. In the best possible way.
Aril is a master technician and totally excels and giving his music depth, drive and emotion. It really is top drawer stuff in most places. Check Leaving Me and Kept Within for Brikha at his former best.
Superb album then but lacks in parts some of the refinement and incredible subtlety of it's predecessor. Will be considered a classic for sure and already fetching in excess of 30 euros on Discogs.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
