5.0 out of 5 stars Tight album, July 30, 2000
By James Allen (University of Florida) - See all my reviews
I had no idea this album was going to be this good. I basically bought it after seeing the video for defenseless. That is a good track, but turns out the entire album is great. Very chill, very down tempo, excellent beats, and synths. Some stand out tracks in my mind are Slaapwagen, and Death of a Piano Salesman. This album also includes production from Kruder & Dorfmeister, two of the best. After listening to this album over and over, I now want to get the remix album which includes Thievery Corporation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very well balanced CD, June 25, 2001
By H. A Huffman "haumf" (Mt. Prospect, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This CD has a lot of Jazz-like elements and is very easy on the ears. I especially like the song "Northern Lights". I recommend this CD to anyone who likes Acid Jazz or Drum & Bass type music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing., March 20, 2000
By A Customer
Wonderful downtempo/downbeat tracks. "Defenceless", and "Wake Up" are among my favorite tracks although they are all very good. The mixing is superb and the lyrics are thought provoking.

I received a three track sampler of this disc. After listening, I ordered this disc and the remix cd. I have to say, the remix is a five-star disc as well. Read more
