"As a 12 yr old I loved this album. I now see it for what it is; light weight dross. However, the man could sing. And Your the Voice is very good song Worthing some very mediocre tracks."  Reply

"It's definitely a worthwhile listen, but I'm not convinced that it's as great as any of its predecessors. "Matangi" is practically as chaotic as its highly underrated predecessor "MAYA", but it lacks the diverse, sonic innovation of that album. It also lacks the fascinating political subtext of A..."  [+]  Reply

"Something For Kate will be remembered if only for 'Monsters' from this album. But the album has a lot to offer and was one album I listened to constantly after its intial release. My all-time favourite Aus album."  Reply

"An absolutely stunning album from electroacoustic pioneer Iannis Xenakis. Incredibly immersive, and once it's got you hypnotised there's absolutely no escape from its spine-chilling sonic landscapes."  Reply

"Due to the style of the songs, this album is never going to be rated a classic. Way too whimsical by half ! Very much of its time. However, having first heard it when I was 10, I have a lot of affection for it. The childlike quality of the songs appealed to me..and still does in a nostalgic way. ..."  [+]  Reply

"Not just a criminally good debut, a criminally good album. It's a real shame that artists like Paul Draper just do not seem to stand a chance in this world of mediocrity. Tisk, tisk. Apparently this album was pretty much already done when Radiohead was only getting started in recording their most..."  [+]  Reply

"My favorite Orb album because it enhances whatever you're doing while listening to it but doesn't require your attention. I wish I could understand why it's ranked so low within the Orb's catalog"  Reply
