Reticulum_Flux, Feb 24, 2007

I find this album to be mostly composed of minimal house and IDM. Most people would just label it electronica... but its much more then that. I never got into Trentemøllers previous vinyl tracks, but I soon regretted that mistake as soon as I heard this lush album. Tracks like "Take Me Into Your Skin" and "Moan" are some of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. Everything in them is perfect.. the beats, the samples and most importantly: the structure. Trentemøller sure knows how to arrange everything perfectly. My personal favorite here is track 2, "Vamp", which in my opinion, is the best fuse of IDM and rock ever. The guitar in it is really something special.
