Sublime
M. Tedeschi | 07/10/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A solid work. Inspirational. Like most great music, it takes a few plays to break-in (at least for me). With each listen I keep finding new moments of brilliance in each track.



Let go of Orbital, though you might hear some Orbital-esque strings/piano, it's rare. Sometimes sans beat.



One other note. Never been a fan of The Cure, but the more I listen to track 4 the more I like Robert Smith on vocals... it works well.



Track 5 could easily have been in the soundtrack for the Royal Tenenbaums or any film classic of the past century, amazing.



I wouldn't say that the album is perfect, but it stands up and demands attention."
What a gift.

"Oh my God. Could this be any better?



The Ideal Condition is, right-here-right-now, my ideal LP. Within Orbital, I think you could feel Paul moving in this direction since Middle of Nowhere. And I, for one, am ecstatic. The whole damn thing is so dense, beautiful and immaculately produced I'm at a loss for words.



Except these two:



"Thank. You.""
Wish it was longer!

"My only gripe on this disc is that it times in at a mere 40:39. At first listen it might seem a little unorganized but after a few listens you can appreciate the paths that Hartnoll follows here. Some moments hint back to Orbital days while others are anything but. The result is a pleasant listen and a bright sense of wonder as to what Hartnoll may have up his sleeve in the future. Great stuff!"
