(5 out of 5 stars)

"This entire album blew me away from start to finish. I loved their last album, but this one is just incredible. Some of the best beats and production arrangements I've heard in years of listening to music of this genre. Though that's hard to classify, because Negative Format may just create a genre of their own with this type of thing. Parts of it even sound like what might happen if a 'Beaucoup Fish'-era Underworld started experimenting with trance or darker electronic music, and parts of some songs even sound a little Aphex Twin influenced. It's definitely a departure from "Distant Pulses". Granted, their sound is still very trancy and dark, but Alex Matheu takes EBM in a completely new direction with this one, adding spacy and trancy dance rhythms, and even throws in some breakbeat every once in awhile. It serves so many purposes. It's great driving music, great to sit back and relax to, and yes, you can dance to it too. I would call this album a journey into "all-purpose electronic music", because you can really listen to it anywhere and it'll have different effects on you depending on where you listen to it. A must-have for any fan of EBM, electro, trance, or darkwave."
