This looks like yet another 90's album that slipped under the radar and into the bargain bin - but why? It's a medley of pristine, head-spinning techno-trance that would give Orbital, Fluke, or Freaky Chakra a run for their money. Nimbly programmed rhythms place these tracks far away from a monotonous boom-tss groove, and big dancefloor hooks and obvious up-and-down structures are avoided too. Instead, snippets of notes and voices swirl and swoop here, there, and everywhere in a psychedelic barrage. The tracks all take a different tack - chill and housey, fast and frantic, deeply textured beatlessness - but they're all awesome. It seems that Off And Gone ceased to exist after this album, but a long list of aliases such as Floatpoint, Dreamdoktor H, Vuemorph, and Cap'm Stargazer can be mined for different, but equally compelling tuneage.
