Very decent pressing if you can get a well cared for copy, almost impossible in my experience. Dunno why of those people who have owned this record were intent on mistreating it. Finally got a decent version on my 5th go. Punchy bass and crisp to my ears. -
A true classic ambient album, when this was released it was truly groundbreaking and definitely helps recover from a heavy night. Enigma could never quite follow up this album with anything close to the quality of their first. I suppose they also struggled to come up with a new sound, so following albums were ok, but just not as good as the first. A must for anyones collection, if you enjoy ambient music.
