    This album has really aged well. Makes a really good underwater themed IDM listening experience. A classic IDM album in my book.

      For me a bit too slow, too cheesy, too poppy. I prefer the clearer sounds and structures like on Stockwell Steppas and Blue Sparks.

        Not groundbreaking in anyway, but a pleasant enough listen for a dull Sunday evening still.

          Their best if you ask me. The cover image really matches the music perfectly.
          Godspeed Mr. Weatherall.

              Major hit of the electronic underground. Amazing that they didn't have to repress this. A major expo of how the current idm sound at that time could be harnessed back into a more humanized analog sound with groove with absolute uniqueness. Many a fond memory listening to this album with friends and just enjoying my early 20s. Ambient noodlings with trip hop, electro and house. Casting a big net to find those who resonate with this amazing sound.

                Without a doubt their finest and most accessible release to date.
                a classic piece of electronica.

                  This entire LP is devoted to creating the Two Lone Swordsmen experience for the listener.
                  A perfectly great album to track down and to share often.

                    My favorite LP from the duo. It all flows naturally from a 'concept album' approach (how dope are those suits?) as well as a motorcity-style ambient odyssey. the bookend tracks really seal it up! definitely worth tracking down...
