4.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical Garnier album but great for chilling!, March 1, 2005

By	Steo L (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews

This is a good album. It is electronica (despite what the previous reviewer said). It's just not the usual fast thumping techno beats we have come to expect from Laurent Garnier. It's more jazzy/blues. Call it chill out sounds - perfect for relaxing after a night out clubbing. My personal favourite tracks are 9.01 - 9:06, Barbiturik Blues, Huis Clos. All beautiful, mournful sounds. The pace quickens a bit (but not much) with the tracks Control the House and Waiting for my plane. To sum up - if it's techno your after do not buy this album (try Bible of Dreams by Juno Reactor - 5 stars). If you're looking for something different albeit experimental then I highly recommend this album. Great for late night listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars On the otherside of "dance" music is art, March 8, 2005

By	Craig M. Oneil (Gainesville, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can understand how someone looking for a banging techno record could be dissapointed, but this doesn't even look like a banging techno record. Also anyone who is a LG fan will know that he is much deeper than your run of the mill EDM artist. This album is a masterpiece, my favorit part of some of the tracks is that they bring in 1 drum, like the begining of a build and then pull back completely. Plastikman fans, IDM fans, Jazz fans and people who enjoy really interesting use of sounds will LOVE this album. (I say this because the previous descrition describes me). Bottom line, not a DANCE record not even a CHILL record, this is beatnick breaks, IDM and spoken word nu jazz (fusion, not lounge) at its absolute FINEST

5.0 out of 5 stars This Album is extraordinary, September 25, 2005

By	V. Guerrieri (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is Art, with a capital "A". Laurent Garnier used to work on sounds and rhythms. We saw his work evolved during the last 10 years, from a very successful minimalist techno to a very distinguish piece of art. The tracks are all good, and you'll be able to appreciate this CD, and to enjoy an instant of relaxation. I hope you'll love it as I do. Enjoy.
