Review by DJMoses Aug 16, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

Flawless, Timeless, Breathtaking... appropriate words to describe this masterpiece of audio stimulus. FSOL combines organic with synthetic in such a way that only masters of their game could. Whether your enjoying a day at the beach or on your way home after a long night. Lifeforms inspires and uplifts and always has you guessing. An essential album for anyone who loves Ambient music.

Rated 5/5

Review by ukiro Jun 16, 2003

Quite possibly the best artist album I've ever heard, and the most obvious 5/5 in my entire record collection. No matter if you're into house, techno, ambient, trance, noise or whatever, this is one of the most essential pieces of electronic music I can think of. Everyone should have this album.
