4.0 out of 5 stars A Stunningly Beautiful Album... As Long As It's Not Defective, March 4, 2008

As some of the other reviewers have pointed out, the initial pressing of the album was flawed; 4 of the songs cut off well before they were finished. These tracks are as follows:

1. Heaven (Mÿon Remix) [should be 6:01, cuts off at 4:35]
3. It's You I Need [should be 4:29, cuts off at 2:04]
6. Imagination (Richard Robson Remix) [should be 4:06, cuts off at 1:56]
11. Ghost (Lime Chill Remix) [should be 4:32, cuts off at 1:42]

If you are unfortunate enough to receive a defective copy, send a nice, friendly e-mail (remember, they're as disappointed about the defective copies as we are) to "info at ultrarecords dot com" (Amazon apparently won't let us put e-mail addresses in our reviews). After contacting them, I received a new, flawless copy within about a week. After thoroughly inspecting the packaging for both the new CD, and the old, defective CD, I can tell you that there is no discernable difference between the two. Hopefully, you get lucky and purchase the new pressing but, if not, the helpful folks at Ultra Records will get you a new copy quickly.

Now, a few words about the album. It's a little more downtempo / chillout than Jes' previous album, Disconnect, but still as trancy as you'd expect from her. Bottom line: it's beautiful music, hooking you in with the very first track (the way "Ghost" did on Disconnect), and compelling you to experience the rest. If you haven't heard Disconnect yet, buy that album first; Into The Dawn really is a follow-up companion piece to Jes' 2007 masterpiece. Now, I'm just really looking forward to hearing how Armin van Buuren and DJ Tiësto incorporate some of her songs into their mixes later this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Triumph....and then tragedy., February 1, 2008

You may want to hold off on buying this disc for a while...there is a distinct chance the first printing was shipped out defective as 3 songs are clearly cut off in the middle on my copy and I am working with the label to see if it was just me or if it is a global issue.
The CD itself is an absloute triumph for JES...her sound works absolutely magically in the downtempo/chillout genre. If you liked the old chilled out Euphoria or Solar Stone downtempo CDs from a while back, you will love this once they get the kinks worked out. I will update my review once I find out the scoop from Ultra, but in the meantime resist the temptation cuz there is nothing worse than getting a great CD that is messed up.
