Rated 5/5

Here, Rod and Michael produced one of the best ambient albums that I have ever heard. Incredibly meditative and full of beautiful sounds. Whether laughing people, airplanes, bells, the ocean, crickets, etc. All this sounds you can find here and they are hold together by an incredibly beautiful and specific space, where it is best to simply close your eyes. I personally prefer Vitamin M, because I find it most intensively.
This CD helps me to bearable every new day a little more. Get it!

Quite simply the absolute best ambient electronic music album I have ever heard.

Words don't do it justice, but I'll try anyway.

Listening to this album is an incredibly moving experience; its ultra downtempo, sublimely soaring & diving synthwork & staccato mechanical pulses woven against a background of superbly sampled soundscapes (both natural, such as marine/shore & thunder, as well as urban, such as muffled voices & cascading ceramic twinkling) will keep you entranced for the entire album's duration.

I can not recommend this mind-bending/expanding album enough. If you like ambient, you must own this album.
