"UNKLE's second album is unbelievably good. I bought Psyence Fiction on a whim years ago and listened to it endlessly. I lost it somewhere along the way and while looking for it in record stores, I found this album. I was hoping it would be a continuation of PF, and was totally let down. But in a good way. This album goes in a different direction. Its hard to describe it. The best way to describe to me is by saying that its like a soundtrack to an epic movie that hasnt been made yet. There arent alot of albums that you can say that you can truly listen to all the way thru and not get boring or redundant. This is one that you can stick in the cd player (especially while driving at night) and let it roll, because it really is the musical equivalent to a story unfolding, you cant skip something, or youre lost for the rest of the way. All the layers of beat, strings, found sound, vocals come together to create a real environment around you. BUY IT!"

Phenomenal

"Just tracks 7 and 8 are worth the price of the CD. The rest of disc is just as phenomenal. The disc is full of great atmospheres, the production is great, and it's so nice to hear real instruments melded with the crazy beats. The addition of Richard File brings Unkle to a new level. This duo should stick together and keep making beautiful music. I wish the bonus track 'Awake the Unkind' was on the North American release."

Psyence Fiction 2? No.

"When I first bought Psyence Fiction, I thought it was an excellent album. I just bought this CD earlier today, and was disappointed. Then I sat down and actually listened and found the good in it. You can't approach this album expecting the same beats that DJ Shadow brought in Psyence Fiction. This album brings a different kind of experience to the listener. There is definitely an electronica sound in some of the songs, but it's not exactly bad. "Eye For An Eye" is an excellent song that, to me, stands out from the rest of the album. Never Never Land is mostly an album to sit back and relax to more than anything. I recommend it to those who have a wide variety of musical genres that they enjoy."
