Rating metrics:
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 73.4/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

One of the greatest recordings from the Ambient House genre. This is a fantastic sound trip. The album comes close to the perfection achieved by The Orb with their Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld.
This is a really interesting ambient listen with some excellent use of sampling. The disappointment for me is on track 5 where the piano sample is at a completely different tempo to the drum rhythm. How did they never notice this when they were perfecting it? It almost sounds like two different tracks playing over the top of one another, not intentionally.... if it were not for this, my rating would be much higher, attention to detail is important.
This is the kind of electronic music that makes me adore electronic music. It can really reach heights and take you places that no other music seems to be able to. It creates true atmospheres...It really, really takes you places. I'm 99% sure this album will make it on my chart after a few more listens. Psychedelic jungle is a great way of putting it.
Truly brilliant album.

A journey through a psychedelic jungle. Not a collection of great melodies, more a collection of strange sounds and fascinating atmospheres.
