"As there are so many techno dub artists nowadays who follow the path of Chain Reaction's pioneers, Monolake takes it's music to a different and absolutely personal style. This CD is not as dense or dark as Gravity, but mantains the cool and nocturnal feeling. Again with loads of fresh and innovative rythms, with percussion that surrounds you coming from everywhere. Some more processed voice samples than in Gravity, more like the Hong Kong days. I am aware that Gerhard Behles has not participated at all in this production, so this music is representing Rob Henke's ideas only. Some tracks are a litlle faster and groovy than the average Monolake. Although Cinemascope is not as profound as Gravity, it surely displays technical and compositional improvements that show that Monolake's evolution line is still going upwards. Nothing sounds like Monolake, and if there is something that does, please tell me."
