Being a massive fan of BT's past work, particularly the genius that is IMA, ESCM and Movement In Still Life, I was looking forwarding to hearing this album.

I'm not sure this album is up there with his past work, but nonetheless, with the exception of a few tracks this is a great album. You'll need to listen to it a couple of times to really appreciate it, and I urge you not to listen once and then discard it, b because it will grow on you.

Melodic synths, guitars, pianos and moody sound effects make up the bulk of this album, but then you'd expect nothing less from Mr Transeau. But where this album differs from his past work, is that it would seem from repeatedly listening that BT has tried to create a modern day "classical" music album to match those of his idols Debussy, Stravinsky and the like. So there is a distinct lack of vocals on the album, all the usual beeps and tweaks but in a more harmonious orchestral sense. You get the idea of this more with some tracks that others: with The Internal Locus for example you can imagine the orchestra being conducted; other tracks less so: the opening track All That Makes Us Human Continues is classic BT.

In some ways, you'd be forgiven for mistaking some of the tracks being Vangelis soundtracks, rather than guessing BT is behind the controls.

But the experience doesn't stop there. CD to is a DVD featuring short films and animations to accompany the music.

It has to be a must for any BT fan and for anyone looking for a more classical style to electronic music.
