"Minimal techno, the way it should be." Reply
"It's okay... some of the songs sound very similar. Highlights for me are Typhoons and Boilermaker. Quite like the closing piano track, it's very different to everything else they've ever done but it works for me.

"Oh, I love the way the album ends, the final 3 tunes are immense. Strange Glue might be Cerys’ best vocal." Reply
"A truly atmospheric and euphoric post-rock album, one of my favourites, and very underrated. So glad I found this!" Reply

'Ahead of Ourselves' is a little repetitive, but sounds like older NIN with a drum lo..." [+] Reply
"After the slight disappointment of the, you're the one, album, Paul Simon returns six years later with an excellent record. Surprise, is probably Simon's most challenging album to date, featuring, according to the credits, ' sonic landscape' by Brian Eno. There is certainly a more ambient feeling..." [+] Reply
