Still holds up great so many years later as a hair-raising piece of thrumming, clacking, skittering, syncopated progressive madness. Even though I'd owned and played it for a few months, one of my favorite clubbing moments was hearing this on a giant room-filling sound system in NYC. My head swam and my heart was literally in my throat as the weird sparkly highs pinged overtop of the gargantuan bassline. Then I knew what people meant when they said they felt like the dancefloor was a rocket ship about to take off... hands up. A masterpiece of a track and a super special memory.
Why can't James Holden make masterpieces like this instead of utter garbage like "Idiots are Winning"?

I don't think i'd be lying if i said that this track is trully a MASTERPIECE. It indeed is, trust me. Holden is a a true genius for making such a track..
OMG, this is what i thought first time i've heard this track, the bassline is good, the structure is even better and the melody is simply astonishing, i'd say Holden best track (main mix), the (beats tool) works too, but personally i'd throw both in a mix.

This track never gets old. Epic, gorgeous. What a statement for the first release of a new label. Whatever you call it, progressive, tech, who cares? Just make sure you have it.

Indeed a fine opening for James Holden's new, innovative label. Minimal, yet beautifully melodical track hasn't only been played by the prog-heads, but also (deep) techno dj's like John Tejada and Sven Väth. The sleeve notes feature bpm's, key notes and rough graphic displays of all four tracks.
