"My opinion ... Shiva Chandra continues to work his talent through out this album with a lot of vocal sampling which works really well, deep basslines which penetrate the foundation of my house - hence the name Subsonic. I appeciate the vcd bonus too as i can now put a face to the the master. My fav tracks are Splud, Loops and Tin Ware. I feel the power Daniel put's across in his music comes in the formation of triangles, meaning that Positive, Luna Spice and Auricular can be grouped together, Gecko, Subsonic and what next...something crazy i feel. I left out spicy moments because, check the name, it's only Moments. Another class production. What i appreciate is the minimal composition he uses to build up a stonking journey throughout each track, mindlessly building up the pressure without letting go, Spud is a great example, yes, this is typical Shiva, but that's what the man is about. I dont really like Modern Acoustics, i'd like to hear more frisbee or positive/lunaspice style ambient tracks, mainly because Modern Acoustics and Future m bend are only short tracks, but i feel that future m bend is great. I like Mapusa Mapusa's co-laboration with him too. To anyone that has seen these guy's play, your lucky, New Zealand aint seen nothing recently, except for buzz or bitmonx. 8/10 Shaman Shiva Chandra Hare Krishna of Tuhoe"
