That (to my knowledge) this album was never released in its entirety on vinyl is a tragedy. It's one that takes a play or three to grow on you, but ultimately becomes one that you're glad to have in your collection. The tracks skate around the vague area of trippy dance that The Shamen made popular and The Orb made trippier. Stand outs include: --"Strange Attractor"...a laid-back, shuffling groove with a surreal vibe provided by distinctive diva/violin samples as a hook --"Pray"...it's easy to understand why this was one of the actual single releases, being one of the most accessible songs on the entire album. An excellent slice of pop-flavored acid house. --"Behold The Angel of Frequency"...from the lyrics to the groove, it's just DEEP. --"Impossible Object"...all I'm going to say is this: cutting edge DJs, remixers...YOU SLEPT ON THIS ONE. A massive Gundam robot of an anthem with a dead-on harmonized vocoder vocal closes this album out perfectly. I would go so far as to say this entire album needs to be re-issued just for THIS ONE TRACK. (And heavy-gauge double vinyl while you're at it, please.)
3.7/5 (
