Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album has a Bayesian average rating of 71.5/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

"Ambient techno" may seem like a contradiction in terms, but these guys (a duo from Rome, Italy) seem to actually pull it off. Clocking in at 90 minutes total (with an extra 14-minute piece in the 10th anniversary edition), each track consists of several minutes of a repeating pulsebeat and bass pattern beneath synth pads and random sound effects that are essentially pure ambient. The results are somehow both relaxing and body-motivating at the same time, perfect for playing in the background during a tantric-sex session, or maybe just preparing a dinner recipe that involves lots of vegetable-slicing. (Which, for some of us, really just amounts to the same thing.) Just be careful not to get hypnotized by it, because obviously then they'll have have total power over you and might make you actually buy the record.

Stunning piece of ambient techno that's slipped under the radar for most people. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning record that runs seamlessly like an organic mix of pulsating ambience. Simply one of the best electronic albums ever made.
