"Ambient masterpiece. All done in one take from start to finish with lots of beautiful and varied samples laid over the original music of the KLF. It's just a really interesting album.

"Another strong album from one of music's most underrated artists. It's similar to her debut, but the songs are just as strong as they were on her first record with the beautiful, the donor, the standout track. A lovely album." Reply

"As far as I know, this album was released before Blur (1996 vs 1997). I've always felt that the chord progression at one point in Fell Off The Floor is way too similar to what Blur did with Song 2.
