Review by BomberOne Sep 06, 2008

A brilliant example of Ambient House as it was in early 90. This remix of Floatation is a beautiful ballad on ambient sounds, really evocative of a still travel in sensations. Either beautiful and melodic. And to add to the pleasure, you got on the flip "Islamatron" which, IMO, is even a better ambient piece. Soft broken beat with a muslim voice coming for far away, this is a hell of a deep emotional track.
The Grid later come onto more and more UK housey things, like their next LP "456", and IMO never got as great in this ambient house territory as on this one, except for "Crystal Clear".
