"The sound of brazilian drums, old movie soundtracks and the innovative tunes of electronica make of this album another great release by Daedelus. It doesn't take too long to get lost into another world and get inmersed in a universe where the sun never goes down, summer is the eternal season and California becomes the synonym of paradise. As the music goes on your ears will end up addicted to every single chime, drum, and any other enigmatic noise thrown into this already unique masterpiece.
Sunscreen anyone?

Back to basics, for better or worse

"Daedelus is by far one of the most innovative names in electronic music, and music in general. That is why I was a bit disappointed with this new album of his. His earlier works such as Of Snowdonia were interesting and unique, but Exquisite Corpse was an amazing mixture of his earlier forms combined with earthy vocals and deep songs (The Mike Ladd version of "Welcome Home" is worth the CD by itself). He had these complex mixtures of computer and organic sounds coexisting and growing as the occasional voice came in singing or spouting poetry...and now he has gone back to his more basic, earlier styles. This is by no means a bad album, but lacks some of the spark that made Exquisite Corpse such a punch in stomach for more "normal" left-field music."
