"Being rather new to this type of music, I never know what
to expect when I place an order. I must admit, I was quite
pleased when I played it. Aside from the first cut,(mentioned later)the CD is filled with interesting sounds and great drumbeats.It keeps me moving, on the inside, yet relaxes
me at the same time. As far as the first cut, I don't know how
that trash ever made it on the disc. Major mistake committed
there, and I hope it doesn't happen again."

Soft edges and pulsating blip hop

"Bias: I'm a big fan of electronic music from the early 90's, like Orbital, Plaid, Black Dog, early Aphex Twin and all those others who produced music that was equally melodic, rhythmic, and coherent enough to listen to whenever or wherever.



This CD is a throwback to that era of the birth of IDM, a simpler time, before it got all skittish and fractured into eight hundred and eight different subgenres, and you had to outdo Autechre by programming beats with the latest Chaos Math algorithm from MIT.



This CD is great for listening to while chilling out, the title couldn't be more perfect. It has 4 or 5 outstanding tracks, and the audio palette that the tunes are drawn from is very non-confrontational, it's very gentle music as you can hear from the samples.



Rated highly, regardless of context, but especially recommended if you're searching for the music borne of the early 90s IDM set."

"To avoid any possible confusion, this is NOT the Boston space rock ensemble Architectural Metaphor's side project. This is a completely different recording artist. Looks to be the band's most recent of four(4) titles. This is decent techno-electronica. Out of this CD's eighteen tracks, I liked the moving "Lush Life Electronica", "Bruder Easy", the somewhat inspiring "Wild Horse Annie Herself" and the beautifully done done "Blue&Green" the best. Might appeal to fans of Mike Ink, Kraftwerk, Stardate 1973 and Mouse On Mars."
