User Reviews:

FrequencyRadio, Jun 20, 2006

This Ambient dub album was groundbreaking and it still sounds fresh and new 15 years later. It's just a melting pot of ambient lushness and pure electronic bliss.
Probably one of the best albums they produced and i'm sure influenced many an artist in the early 90's.
I can't recommend it enough.
