Rated 5/5
Review by spoons Jun 12, 2008
Mesmerizing! Leaves you stunned if you sit and take the whole album in one undisturbed hit in a darkened room. Deep, hypnotic and strange.
Not produced in Dolby 5.1 unlike Hawtins DE 9 Transitions but still works really well if played on a home cinema system in Pro-logic with the woofer turned up. If there's a better Minimal Techno album around I'd love to hear it. A must for serious Techno lovers. I want the vinyl version now!

Essential purchase.
Ricardo layers organic rhythms over odd noises and melodies.
Hypnotic and trance inducing to the max.. seems to slow time to crawl.
If you like this, check out Dandy Jack - who he has worked closely with.
Review by Acceleratedbeats Dec 02, 2003
I call this the release of 2003 as far as tech-house or electro goes. It's very hypnotic... almost as if you forget that you are listening to it, and then all of a sudden you realize that only six minutes has gone by on the track and you feel like you've been sitting in the same position for a month. Most tracks have unsettling sludgy sounds. ALL TRACKS on this release are very good, making it a must buy. The vinyl LP has additional songs not released on CD.
