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 71.1/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.7.

this album fills an emptiness inside me that I didn't even know I had

This is everything KLF’s Chill Out aspired to be when it grew up. It’s an ambient sound scape to a late night journey. This time you’re on a commuter train. You meditatively look out the window passively taking in the urban wasteland that supports life but that no one gives too much particular attention to. It’s warehouses. It’s sewers & canals. It’s power stations. You’re just comfortably at peace listening to the random sounds of the train play on the tracks as this urban landscape slips past. It’s meditative, nocturnal and completely gives you the impression of movement. Where you’re going is not important. You’re not in a rush. You’re complete just looking out that window. Looking out that window at nothing.
Grade: A. One of the finest, absorbing and contemplative ambient albums I’ve heard. It’s natural, organic & slightly industrial in sound. But the best thing is the sense of movement it gives you. That you are being transported somewhere, but you don’t really care where. In a way, it reminds me of Seefeel’s Quequi in that sense. This jumps ahead (for now) of even Virginia Astley’s album of naturalistic beauty perhaps because I’m bit more of an urban dweller at my core.
