"CHeck out the cut Dreamin'..That whole sound is from Wally Badarou's album, Echoes. Echoes is a wonderful album...all instrumental, mostly synth. Badarou was the best at what he did, and his music on Echoes was very attractive, and had real melodic ideas. A classic. Look up Wally and say hello...and buy Echoes. Wally used the Prophet 5 a lot in his sound...and it's super rich."

This album is now old enough to vote.

"That in and of itself blows my mind. I don't need to go in depth about the style and impact of this music, but I will say that I am still waiting for someone to top it... but I'm not holding my breath. If you are too young to have heard this one the first time around, pick it up. Cuts like Unfinished Sympathy, Daydreaming, and Safe From Harm helped to create and define trip-hop. The album takes some unexpected turns, unlike later Massive albums that tend to maintain one sound throughout an album. That's not a bad thing. When I first got the album, I wanted it for the grooves for dance class and the gym, so I skipped a a few tracks that didn't fit that vibe for me. I don't skip them anymore. It's that kind of album. Put it on a good pair of headphones, lean back, and enjoy."
