CD Reviews
Cheeba Music...

"After buying the cd, ( along time ago, as a matter of fact) I played it every night, 7 days a week for 3 months and never heard the same track. Perfect "relaxing music" ( if you know what i mean). If you do as the album title suggests, you are in for many, many hours of trippy music that makes your mind float in different directions every time you listen to it. Well worth a purchase."

"The tracks on this album sound suprisingly clean, considering how densely layered some of them are. Some of these tracks are quite long, yet non-repetative, drawing you in to their strange, wiggly, opiated sci-fi organic world. Great album with a wonderful sense of humor: on one especially dazzling track, the song cuts out and a sound clip comes in with "Do you remember reality?", clearly a fun jab at the listeners state at this point of the song.
A must have for those who like their techno to make their brain turn to jelly and run out of their ears."

"I'll keep this short because hyperbole jades. You'd be hard pressed to come across an album as special as this in the electronic genre. This release encapsulates everything I love about music. It's subtle, beautiful, rhythmic, ethereal, melodic. Most importantly, it challenges the electronic music aficionado to re-evaluate their grading scale because of its maturity.
A class act across the board. Sure, you may listen to it in one mood and agree that it's got something going for it upon initial listen only to discover down the road that you didn't pay due respect. It continues to give back in ways only your favorite releases can.
I consider myself a fairly avid fan of electronic music dating back to '81. I especially love electronic dance music and this release just hits me on a level than compels me to write."
