This is an absolutely stunning album. Theres similarities to mid-period Orb releases, especially "Orblivion", as well as Irresistible Force and Pete Namlooks collaborations with Bill Laswell. Layers of warm, comforting synths and some dub-influenced basslines and beats, weirdo samples and a general feeling of detached, enveloping harmony. The only oddball track on this is the somewhat Squarepusher-esque "Numby Numbs", which is a bit of a breakbeat departure in the middle of the album but doesnt derail things too badly. Overall, a superb album and a welcome addition to the em:t lineup.
