Reviews

808state starts this album with an upbeat dancefloor classic "Colony" as a statement. Calms it down with the beautifully vocal "Moses" but "10 x 10" is the track that does it for me! Dreamy piano loops, Godspell vocals like you can hear in soulful house music, a rhythm that slowly builds up and BAM! Big beat à la 808state!

The dubby/reggae colours given by UB40 on "One in Ten" are very welcomed, followed by the instrumental "Plan 9" and its array of emotions. Europa is a wonderful song with vocals by Caroline Seaman from Heavenly Bodies and This Mortal Coil, and I can feel an Orbital influence in the beat and synths (like Orbital's Belfast).

Get this one + Ninety, Ex:el and above all, Don Solaris!!
