Escapist, Jan 30, 2004

One of the finest examples of downtempo and groove. The classics "Wish You were", "One Night Stand" and "Losing It" echo layers of elctronic seduction and vice. "Abuse" is a stunning bass-driven dance track that will always be able to shake some butts. The only flaw I found is that the tracks tend to get a tad long and repetitive but this is small weakness in a fantastic album.
