Some hard-to-classify good quality sounds, somewhere between ambient drum'n'bass and early morning house trax, drawing a lot from Lonnie Liston Smith (a 1970's jazz-funk musician, best known for his "Expansions" tune). I especially dig Lacarno & Burns' "Axis", a hippie-trippy jump-up kind of tune!
And nice art-work & pictures that made me prefer the multi-LP set to the CD release!

Wow! Having loved volumes I and II of the Earth series on GLR, and been a bit disappointed with volume III, I wasn't too expectant of the fourth one. But I was proved wrong as this one is truly, truly wonderful. An audacious but entirely successful move away from Bukem's usual style of track selection - hard to describe except that it's a beautiful journey from start to finish. John Beltran's Aztec Girl and Makoto's Extension of Life are just stunning.. i dont understand how CaptainCook gave this masterpiece the luke-warm review that he did. Some if not all of these tracks were specially commissioned for this album.

Another nice compilation from Good Looking Records. Some tracks features live musical instruments & vocals. I like the Earth series more than others (like Points In Time and Progression Sessions) due to various syles presented in one volume. And I should mention the perfect artwork of the disk box. A step after one-coloured Earth I-II-III volumes.
