Pentatonik - Anthology

Very beautiful artwork, OK - Totally uninteresting music, not OK.
Maybe it sounded good to someone in the mid 90's but to me it's sounds totally dated and like a poor mans early Orbital. Maybe it approaches decent in parts, but there are no full enjoyable tracks. The fact that disc 3 got duplicated on disc 4 in spite of artwork doesn't impress either. Even if I was spared from further misery, there could have been a good track on disc 4, apart from "Real" (actually an intriguing track as a filler) that was featured on Trance Europe Express 2.

In short - this record is beyond boredom. Avoid.

Another gem in the ambient crown of electronica.

This could've been redundant or borish considering it was a double disc but Simeon's creativity shines through from alpha to omega. It's a vibrant, lush collection of ambient tracks that softly nestle themselves in your mind. It's hard to describe at times but these tracks float and flow like very few ambient albums do.

Very few musicians acheive such affection in their music. This is the perfect example of electronica done with the greatest care and talent.

It just might be the music you hear in heaven (unless youre athiest) or on the way there. Ambient perfection.

Double artist albums that are actually listenable all the way through aren't exactly commonplace, but this is a rare exception. A wonderful gem, this, with Simeon's characteristic strings and and an "uplifting melancholia"-type atmosphere that makes this an IDM classic. A warm, inviting and unashamedly melodic album. Much better than his A1 People efforts.
