Notes

Black vinyl version comes with a removable sticker saying: "Special Classical Pressing" (quality pressing done at a plant that specializes in classical records).

There is also an extremely limited number pressed on brown vinyl, which was pressed at the beginning of the run in the UK. That edition has no classical pressing sticker and the vinyl labels omit the Wau! Mr. Modo credits.

Rated 5/5

Review by FrequencyRadio Jun 20, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

This Ambient dub album was groundbreaking and it still sounds fresh and new 15 years later. It's just a melting pot of ambient lushness and pure electronic bliss.
Probably one of the best albums they produced and i'm sure influenced many an artist in the early 90's.
I can't recommend it enough.
