"The best way to describe "Trace", is beautiful, exiling soundscapes combined with super dark, noise filtered drum and bass loops. The type of cd you put on when your driving through Utah alone and are pretending to some sort of Mad Max hipster with a lot on your mind. A must have for the ambient enthused."

...100 microliters of goodness...

"The title of an album rarely describes how it sounds, but in the case of Trace, the title fits like a glove. There is nothing explicit about this album; everything is flowing in an undercurrent, from the the faint electronic whispers to the bursts of euphoric drum and bass. This album may have a repetitive feel to it, but that should not deter from its quality. As with any ambient works, redundancy is inevitable, but what is important is the general aesthetics of the reaming instrumentation. This album is also a pretty large departure from the harshness of Further, but fans should not be deterred because Mike and Cadoo have once again created a masterpiece of IDM."
