Reviews
Included in Neil Strauss' list of the Top 10 Albums of `95 - "...the frenetic break beats of England's jungle dance-music rub against lush ambient music, live instruments and a technology-addled sense of soul...", 9 - Near Perfect - "...a fall of light into the urban endzone....Goldie has taken jungle to a more expansive level here, fusing its ominous bad-boy polyrhythms with gorgeous diva vocals, rich piano playing, and upbeat jazzy chords that dissolve into ambient clouds....brings jungle to a new level of cross-fertilization...", Ranked #10 in NME's `Top 50 Albums Of The Year' for 1995 - "...an astonishing...symphony of whizzing breakbeats, fluid soundscapes and mind-warping moodswings...", "...Starting with the increasingly familiar....palette of jungle/drum and bass music, Goldie and his Metalheadz sculpt expansive sonic constructions that elude the linear confines of descriptive language...", Ranked #8 on Melody Maker's list of 1995's `Albums Of The Year' - "The jungle underground's figurehead....Massive and jaw-droppingly ambitious...", Ranked #17 on Spin's List of the `20 Best Albums of '95.', Ranked #23 in Village Voice's 1995 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.
