ReviewsIncluded in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", Ranked #10 in Melody Maker's list of the `Albums Of The Year' for 1993 - "...Creating a soundscape like a vast, depopulated techno world, the Twin's scurrying swathes of electronics recall Eno, Kraftwerk, Terry Riley--none of whom he'd heard of until years after this stuff. Awesome....", "...undeniable proof that techno was blossoming into a new form of electronic composition...it's the restraint of James' music that paradoxically induces such an unrestrained emotional response in the listener...it's like he's playing acoustic instruments from the distant future or an alien civilization...", "...His accomplishment here is monumental; this solo electronic album is so unusual that it needs to be stated up front that it sounds like no other recording in the genre, ever...", Ranked #56 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.", Included in Q's list of `The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - "...a brilliant collection of experiments...always fascinating and somehow other-worldly, this is music as enjoyable as it is innovative and of its time...", Included in Ap's '10 Essential Pioneering Electronic Albums'., 4 Stars - Excellent - "...it's the absence of beats that makes the music so strange and haunting, and when the beats do surface, they serve to accent a tone rather than sustain a tempo..."

  • Perfectly fine in all respects

    What a stupid idea. Am I reviewing the musical content of the cd or the fact that I bought a secondhand cd and it arrived?I Well, I know the music content, it’s not his best, but I wanted it for my collection. So 3. Stars. The item is a little tatty and scratched but ok and original so similarly 3 stars..
