"Some great tunes on here, I personally like Transformation the most. Also, if you make music and need some samples, the second disc is really nice to have. Listening to it would bore you, though..."
Excellent EBM with jungle flourishes

"Extremely listenable and original industrial; Haujobb put together a multitude of genres (jungle flirts with more straightforward industrial on a few tracks) not necessarily to fill dancefloors. Nonetheless, this is an essential cd for those tired of the genre exercises currently cluttering industrial; alternately darkly atmospheric, pummeling, and beautiful, this album revisits the equally good material on "Solutions for a Small Planet". The bonus cd (which by a manufacturing error only has four tracks) allows those with a sampler or mod tracker to create their own tunes: every sample used to create "Solutions" is here to plunder."
So awesome!

"This CD is so incredible, never have I ever heard good futuristic music like this ever before! The album has this futuristic feel thats alot better than what other artists show off! Throbbing bass floating drums added with a futuristic city atmosphere that just sucks you right in. they also produce the coolest sound tricks and samples in this album. the music on this album doesnt get you settled on just 1 pattern, but takes you for a ride. every song on this cd is mindblowing that I strongly recommend this to any electronic music fan who wants an awesome glimpse of the future!"
Not impressed

"This album features several supposed remixes (or 'unmixes') from Solutions for a Small Planet. This album is Solutions, with all energy mixed out. Some people may appreciate the ambience... but there's already enough industrial turned spacey. Listen to this album while settling down to bed. But if there's someone else in bed with you, put Solutions on."
Ambient Sounds, then Low-Key Hipnotic Dance

"I'm constantly amazed by this band: Here we have a remix album where a whole bunch of artists are invited to remix tracks from "Solutions" while retaining the Haujobb feel! I love the hypnotic beats and synths that mutate into totally different versions within the same song on "Farthest Distance", "Transformation", "Antiversion" and "Monologue". It reminds me of the final track on Sonic Youth's "EVOL" album, where the sound and the pitch changes without you noticing it - it creeps up on you and when you notice it you're in a totally different reality, a trip (Don't be confused if you're new to Haujobb though - the only thing they have in common with SY is experimentation). Haujobb themselves made some of these remixes and it's no surprise: Look what they did with Front Line Assembly's "Circuitry" and "Plasticity" singles. These are remix masterpieces. A worthwhile buy."
