    I honestly think this is the best Sasha track imo. Both tracks are absolutely beautiful and evocative. Both tracks are journeys that build up into a rhythmic storm of emotional intensity

      "Ohmna" has that one sound (the bass in between the kicks) that always reminds me of Desert's "Moods".

        I’m a sasha completist as much as the next bloke but it was a running joke at the time, if he turned up for a set - he’d stick one of his own records on and go for a pint

          Very nice, contemplative trance. I have not come across much of this outside of the realm of Classic Goa Trance. Nice to know that the trance scene was going a bit deeper periodically back in the 90's. This is a very special release.

            At 13min28sec Arkham Asylum is actually too short, after the "flutey" breakdown starting at about 9:45 the track should not fade out to the drums, rather the epic section at about 7:50 should make a grandiose return, then the track could slowly fade out from that. Like prog rock a proper prog house track needs at least a vinyl side (20 min) to express itself in full!

              Due to Sashas previous release, "Be As One" being bootlegged to death, Sasha appeared in Mixmag and said "...I can't stop people bootlegging my DJ mixes but when it comes to my own music then that's taking the piss..". Deconstruction and Sasha took the step of releasing this track without any promos to stop the bootleggers, which worked, in my opinion. The track itself seems to be a Jam & Spoon type of atmos prog house, which is a good thing!

                If I had to choose 1 vinyl to dream away with, this would be it.
                Arkham Asylum is unbelievably warm and relaxing, a verry nice build up with the best climax i ever heard !
                Arkham Asylum is an incredible progressive chiller. My favorite part is the midle section where the bassline drops and the melody of a female voice comes in.
                Also the beginning of this record is verry hot, a graet ambient sounding melody.

                  Very high quality music jammed into a single vinyl. While the lengths of these two tracks might be an eye opener, it strengthens the feeling of a journey that these tracks bring you through. Ohmna starts off with a dark theme for about 5 minutes then brings out the light and melody that you did not expect. Arkham Asylum is an equally beautiful track. 5/5
