Still a classic

"I decided to write a review for this since I did not see too many
recent ones. This album holds a special place for me and every time I
listen to it I am reminded of worlds I had forgotton. FSOL never did
top this, but one amazing album is no small feat. This is more of a
soundscape disc so if you are wanting something similar to FSOLs more
upbeat tracks like "We Have Explosive"--stay away. The albums artwork
still effects me. I am a 3d artist, and despite being obviously dated
(technically) the art on the inner sleeve of the girl reaching out
to the weird alien orb is still a powerful image--and sums
of the themes of this album very well. I own a lot of cds
but there are a select few which will always be on rotation--Lifeforms
will always be one of them."
Still amazing after 15 years

"I can't get over how fantastic this album is, even after hundreds of listens. If you haven't heard it yet buy it and see."

"4 1/2
Only the tiniest bit awash in dated bleepings, this brilliantly flowing analog bubblebath-ed synthesis of innovative ambiance and forward propulsion is still one most definitely worth hearing, and the rare double-disc journey whose fillers are even thrillers.
