I knew from the moment I saw this CD it would be good. And my first listen confirmed my expectations. An absolutely fabulous CD (to coin the term). The CD moves from track to track in a journey like motion making excellent use of percussion, synthetic sounds and some very good guitar riffs as well. From the moment you put in the first track you realize that this is an original work unlike others. The sound is somewhat like classical, mixed with ambient techno. Very cool, very relaxing, one of the best cd's in my collection.

Not the same sound as the rhythmically innovative "Ekstasis" album that came out under Skopelitis' name years ago, though many of the players from that album return. The music here is more soothing, and more centered generally around Nicky's gentle artful guitar work. Pretty good stuff.

Another dreamy and creative Bill Laswell project. This cd will take your mind down different avenues than most music does.
