      Paradinas did good stuff with the album, but it is far too long, half an hour should have been shaved off to make it a classic, in particular Phragmal Synthesis Part 1-3
      A bit of a joker Paradinas, I just realized he plays the Postman Pat theme at 4:15 in Burnt Sienna.

        If someone said this were made in 2022, very few people would raise an eyebrow. For those of us who were around when it was new it remains a vital link to the past. If we close our eyes we might imagine that we're just as ageless.... Nostalgia aside, it's just incredible music that will be appreciated for decades to come. Thank you µπ!

            This is my first time listening to this, so I don't what each individual song sounds like (much less the titles associated with the individual songs). Despite this, the album's just... really good. This is a great blend of the excellent drum/melody construction of Lunatic Harness, but with more seriosity. Reading the track titles is great as well ("Phragmal Synthesis", wonderful!). But hey, don't take it from me, I don't listening to it.

              Avoid the watered-down 2CD version. Original 13 track album is perfection.

                A must have for the Braindance listening crew.
                Innovative and highly inspirational for artists later on

                  I call it a masterpiece, and I don't think any IDM enthusiast can tell the sky from the ground without it.

                    A unique, very beautiful, playful, revelatory, advanced release for its time. Certain compositions on this album start up using the very last sound(s) ending the previous one. A fantastic record.

                      I love this release. A wonderfull journey into an atmospheric experimental experience.
                      "A fascinating stream of of tapping sounds, hisses, bubbles, bumps, rettles, squeaks, whistles, moans, sighs, twitters, clanks, muffles explosion and unmuffles explosions" as is written on the inner cover. Excellent!
