"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. I, clearly and emphatically, love it from start to finish. Recommended for anyone who likes ambient or electronic..." [+] Reply

"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

"I’d recommend people getting into the band to start here. They finally deliver some very good songs such as Happy House, Hybrid, Christine which is the best track & Red Light and the whole album is worth a listen." Reply

"This version suffers from the lack of the last two tracks, which were omitted for a stupid reason (because people said Mingus couldnt swing). Together at Noon was easily one of the most badass jazz tracks ever." Reply
