"I like this CD so much because it straddles the lines between industrial and electronica. More aggressive then most techno tripe i.e "plastikman" and more interesting to boot! "Dreams" is as creepy as it gets. This is definately a must for someone who wants beats without the wimpy drivel!"

"I don't understand people that think this cd is boring or repetitive!? What techno are they listening to? Maybe they had their headphones plugged into the wrong jack. Maybe they've never been to a club, and can't visuallize their bodies torqueing to these great beats (I'm bouncing along to it right now as I type ... it's hard to keep the fingers on the keyboard).I have to concur with the previous comments about hard organic funky beats. Track 2 is the funkiest thing around, especially that pseudo-Speak-n-Spell break. Get this CD if you like electro ala Uberzone."

"This is one of my go-to albums (yes, CDs are still albums), something I play when I'm feeling low or reminiscant. You might be thinking "That's kindof strange dude - this is a techno album" but that's the thing, it really isn't. Yes there are some danceable beats and loops, and some really intrigueing programming and sampling (scifi rips, Darth Vadar) but the music does have an emotional quality to it. At several points the electronic complexity is gradually transformed into a melody that sounds like a heartfelt message of hope or human-sympathy. Especially notable in this respect are "Hyperspace" and "Blacklight Fantasy".I know this sounds corny, but get over that cold exterior you techno-head and listen to this CD. If you feel nothing by the time it's done, then I guess you really are a machine. Feel free to go back to your Chemical Brothers.The ONLY reason I can't give it 5 stars is because I find myself consistently skipping the first 5 songs and listening to the backend of the album. Not that the first 5 are awefull by any means, they just don't have the heart of tracks 6-12."
