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.

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.

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.

Waldeck's aplty-named "Balance of the Force" is a beautiful mixture of ambient, downtempo, dub and soulful psychedlic grooves that are great "for-play" (heehee) during those midnight sessions with that signifiant other, or when you're alone chillin' doin' whatever the hell you do. With stunning- hallucinogenic vocals and hauntingly-delightful instrumentation, "Balance of the Force" will get inside your head, heart, soul and eventually those hands and feet of yours! Just go easy on the bass--this baby is packed with it!

A must have.
Recently heard a few cuts from this album and had to buy it.
I highly recommend this album!

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. Not only have I played it A LOT, everyone I've played it for had to have it as well. Still, I was not as impressed with their follow-up cd. Hard to match this one though.
