Inspireational, interesting, haunting, strange and beautiful album. But it is the standout track Real Life Ceremony that has made me write something here. THis track once heard will haunt you and you will want to listen to it again and again. A mate of mine bought the album when it was first released and I dug it then but could not get hold of a copy. Not sure why it took so long but I have finally got my own copy of Four corner room. Anybody professing to enjoy interesting electronic music of any form should check this album out. Just don't call it IDM. ;)

The 4 Cornered Room is a fantastic listening cd. What I mean by that is that it's not overly serious, it can be backround music, it can be the focal point. This is a years worth of music wrapped up in one cd. You could start at any song and easily listen to that song 20 times in a row. Truly a fine piece of work here. One of the best pieces of ambient techno of all time.

I got this when it came out in 1994 and was really disappointed. It just seemed flat, and bland, and trying to hard to sound beautiful. And the cover design was awful. But I persevered: if ever a release rewarded repeated listenings, this is it. So many hidden levels, so much variety of styles. Very subtle, and very beautiful: without trying too hard!

Luke Slater's frankly astonishing debut on GPR is a consistently brilliant tour de force for IDM fans...
Completely embodying GPR IDM, it sounds as fresh today as when released in 1994. Many classic tracks including a mesmerising closing tune 'Grace', 'Lost' and 'Real Life Ceremony'.... But it's hard to pick and choose, it's a masterpiece of Intelligent Techno thru and thru.
There's a recent re-release from the sorely mourned GPR out now, buy it today and enjoy the golden age of IDM all over again...and wonder why it's not still here!

Think Global Communication meets Kenny Larkin and both doing their finest. This in absolute essential for collectors of Warp heads and probably the best GPR release EVER!. Its a more intelligent sound than the stuff he's been pigeon-holed into and up-there in the finest electronica LP's of that year.

one of my absolute favourite records since I was a child and listened to it in my big brother's room. nice atmospheric sounds that can create a very melancholy mood met pushing rythms to develop a special flair. to me, this is luke slaters deepest and most impressive work till now...
