"this CD is perfect. it's mellow , emotional Drumandbass, and a little Detroit Techno thrown in, as well. Jacob's Optical Stairway is a supergroup, made up of...
* 4 Hero
* Juan Atkins
* Josh Winkalthough i think Atkins and Wink only appear on a few songs. so this is really a 4 Hero project. this is just perfect chill-out breakbeat music. lots of nice synth-washes and warm bass. i give it a 10 out of 10, and highly recommend it. it's actually on my "favorite albums ever" list. :-)"

Good stuff from the 4 Hero guys

"Great dnb album from the guys behind 4 Hero. Actually, it is quite suprising that this album is not more popular than it is. The beats are fresh (even now) and not reptitive like most dnb. Compared to "2 Pages" and "Creating Patterns" this material is more percussion oriented and with less going on vocally or melodically. Don't think that it is a rapid fire percussion assault, however. It is smooth and sophisticated. Get it before it disappears."
