fabriknos, Sep 16, 2008

This is the one System 7 album that hasnt aged very well and isnt very indicative of their deep, accomplished style. Questionable pop vocals and "smooth jazz" guitar solos permeate throughout, and with the lone exceptions of Altitude & Listen (both co-produced by Derrick May), there arent many energetic or danceable moments. But this was their first album before they went headfirst into their soon-to-be signature ambient and trance, so Ill cut them a little slack and chalk it up to some good experience for the duo.
