Not so keen on the title track here. Dont get me wrong - its nicely put together but the overall mood doesnt really float my boat. The other three cuts on this are so good however, I feel it justifies my 5 rating. Arp Surface has a sweet arpeggiated synth pattern over detroit pads and a nicely low-slung bassline. Dixons edit of Oblivion is an awesome electronic deep-house excursion with a really positive feel to it. Pick of the bunch for me is the Maurice Faulton rmx of Vacuum Jackers. Its like detroit techno meets late 70s disco in a perfect match-up. Funky drums followed by a funky-as bassline topped off with the mother of all piano sections (its not fussy or complex - its just right). This records strength is its diversity.
