"Wink offers a good stepping stone into the world of minimalism. He does spin some great tracks like "Losing Control" and his own "How's the music." Listen carefully to how he brings samples from previous tracks. Good journey :) "Into Space." - Dj NuYorikan Seoul"

The only josh wink I've found that I truly enjoy

"Josh Wink is one of those dj's that I always had such high hopes for. like one day he would come out with the electronic album/mix that would be the Sergeant Pepper's of electronica--he had the catchiest darn grooves and a certain minimalist je ne sais quoi--but it always seemed like his ego got in front of his musicianship--I'm sure such songs as "don't laugh" got him many groupies/people telling him he was god--but every album of just his stuff that comes out is [bad] (in my humble opinion)--sure he has those great moments, but somehow the album makes those great moments into gross mistakes--that being said, this album is great because its the only one he made where his ego didn't capsize the whole ship--its the closest thing to the essential Josh Wink album that ever came out--its a good album and pretty much an icon of the Winkian universe--its just too darn bad he never lived up to the hype"

A classic.

"one of the best examples of a narrative spun through a DJ's hands. this is an excellent collection of (mostly) minimalist tracks with a bit of a bent toward the thematically cosmic. this has been a staple in my collection for two years now, and i'm STILL not sick of it."
