Review by cvoltaire02 Oct 13, 2003

referencing The Conversation, 2xCD, Album, AMB 4934 CD

The Cabs' last recording as a group to date. This 2-CD set is a further exercise from where the group left off with 'International Language' and 'Plasticity'. The overall sound is much more ambient and trance-y than the previous 2 releases while still retaining the techno sheen. The 50 minute plus 'Project 80' track on disc 2 is sheer brilliance - the longest track these guys have put on to disc during their career (and if you like 50-minute long compositions of that nature). It's THE definite standout on the release. Worth acquiring just for the generous sampling from the 'Altered States' flick. The 10-minute 'Harmonic Parallel' on the first disc is also worth a listen. For fans of the group and for those who are into the mid-90s Ambient scene, this is an important audio document.
