Reviews

From the opening distant bass drones of "Suddenly becomes light" to the bell sounds of the sad "Breaking the fall", this is an excellent album. The combination of melodic bass lines and illbient/indietronic approaches is still unparalleled in its emotional impact. The sinister atmospheres are both seductive and threatening. About the only complaint you could aim at this collection is that it leaves out some hard-to-find key tracks from Rothko's three-bass period, e. g. "Winter in the oceans" or "Storm cycle", but there's still enough material here for both long-time fans and novices. Definitely recommended.
