    Can only agree with Expansive09. This is my favourite release on emit. But then again I favour "deep" and "dark" to some of the saccharine stuff released on other titles.

      Unspoken gem. Moody, rhythmic lots of what sound like odd sampled instrumentation as well as long drawn out string swells and distant chants. The music here is heavily processed in areas and wouldn't be far removed from something Alan Wilder of Depeche mode would create. Its film like quality and dynamic compositions place this release head and shoulders above alot of the 4 on the floor ambient music made in the day.
      Irregardless of other commentary here this is NOT undeveloped, thoughtless music unless your a classical music snob or have a personal bias towards Mill's music. This cd is a fine 90s release which fit snugly into the classic em:t catalog of yore. And btw this release has nothing to do with WOOB!

        Undeveloped, uninteresting, overly repetitive. Very few ideas. Avoid.

          Along similar lines to the Woob releases - phenomenal recording but lacking in depth compared with Woob 1194.
