Editorial Reviews

Always at the more melodic and cerebral end of the drum and bass spectrum, but inspired more by techno than jazz, Klute's tracks are equally suited to the dance floor or the armchair. Reformatted from the UK version to a double CD to highlight the best of the Klute sound and to include numerous US only exclusives, this fifth release delivers an enduring and timeless classic for all fans of electronic music. An interesting fact no one knows about Tom Klute is that he's the world's leading composer of airport music. Most who've traveled the friendly skies will have unknowingly heard his work at one time or another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Drum n Bass album of this decade, June 14, 2007

Wow. Words can't really even describe the heights this album has achieved, somehow Tom Withers manages to out do himself on every LP he makes. Other Electronic Music producers should really take note. (that's right, not just Junglists) Most of the album revolves around a very Old School Brit Punk sound, which we should really have more of in Drum n Bass, because lord knows modern punk bands can't do the job very well. The downtempo tunes which he has also been revered for are well placed and don't detract from the pace of the album. (although some really great tracks on the UK version aren't found in the US version, it still doesn't take away from the value this CD gives you) All in all, Klute's classic style, 80's synth homages and authentic blend of "Punk n Bass" mesh together nicely for what is easily his best work yet. It also makes for a great introductory CD for anyone wanting to get into Drum and Bass and/or Electronic Music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Album!!!, November 2, 2007

This is Klute's finest work & may be the best D&B album of the year. I'm not gonna go to far into depth as I really just thought this was given an unfair rating just because another reviewer thought it was by another artist. Anyone who's ever been interested in drum & bass or even electronic dance music for that matter. You get 2 discs of phenominal music from start to finish, there's not one track on the entire album that you'll wanna skip over. Even my friends that don't normally get into D&B love this album. You must buy KLUTE'S album, you won't be disapointed!!!
