""Moving Cities" by FAZE ACTION is an interesting experience. It has a couple of vocal tracks, nothing too annoying. The rest are instrumentals for the eclectic crowd. The biggest thing that grabbed me is the use of orchestration with electronic music, which adds more organic textures to the sound. It sways and swoops through a variety of tracks. Some with a definitive latin flavour and some with a more house/dance overtone.The album, to me, starts to hit its stride after Track 4 (Heartbeat), and includes "In The Trees" and "Turn The Point", which is on the PLANS & DESIGN CD they released earlier.All in all, a very solid, listenable dance album that bounces around yet is very relaxing. Out of 12 tracks, I enjoyed 10."

"Faze Action has produced an incredible CD of uptempo, yet mellow, dance, disco, latin and world rhythms that are sure to appeal to the electronica crowd. Most of the tracks here are quite lengthy, but brothers Simon and Robin Lee do a masterful job of layering bass-heavy tracks like "Moving Cities", "Isis", "In the Trees", "Turn the Point" and "Horizons" with rich orchestral (and oft-times psychedellic) textures that give this dance music an organic, human feel. Highly Recommended!!!"
