5.0 out of 5 stars A great CD, April 7, 2000

This is one of the better CDs I own...this is for a person whom really gets into to music. If your just starting out stick with the more conventional CDs..This music is designed for headphones and long auto rides by yourself..Not to invite friends over to "check it out" This CD is very good for introspection...

2.0 out of 5 stars Synaesthesia - 'Desideratum' (Cleopatra) 2 1/2 stars, June 20, 2005

Band's second release,key players for this studio project are Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber.Two CD's,duration is two hours and twenty minutes.Best described as industrial/electronic with a somewhat 'sinister' edge to it.As a friend of mine put it,'Desideratum' is borderline tolerable.As for myself,I prefer to listen to one disc per time I choose to check it out.Tracks that I most remember noticing were "Orion Nebula","Dark Core","Barred Spirals" and the fifteen-minute "Lifeless".Might appeal to fans of Front Line Assembly,Delerium,Surface 10,Philip Glass and Red Shift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, haunting, and quite good!, May 1, 1999

Upon first listen, this album fell into my "good" categorie. The second time I listened to it, previously unnoticed nuances begin to shine through, bringing this album up to "pretty good". After the third listen, it moved to the "excellent" category. Make no mistake, this is a totally "ambient" type album, not really something you can dance too! It's also very dark and very haunting. I found it perfect to lose one's self in it; lush musical textures over lush musical textures. "Umbra", "Dark Core" and "Lumia" are incredible! Recommended for a great escape!
