    A brilliantly subtle textured album of the earliest 90s techno. Bit of Balearic, bit of kraut rock, bit of petshopboysey, but no gimmicks, quality from start to finish.

      I bought my copy as a punt from HMV for £1 in the bargain bin, what a bargain, it had stood the test of time very well and is great on repeated listens.

        Gave this a listen for the first time in many years and so happy I did so. Not just for the classic "Floatation" but really diggin' "Intergalactica" once more.... Really brings me back to my early turntable excursions. So, now to find a few Guerilla 12's...
        Happy days!
