...yes...easily....15 years on and you still hear snatches of this iconic album in everything electronic. Boy Genius Richard D James created the most perfect, gentle, epic (and sometimes quietly agressive) brooding electronica. To say this album is iconic is an understatement. If you're reading this review and you don't think you're aware of this record - you're wrong...or you've been hiding away from all music and media for the last 15 years - it's easily one of the most important electronic albums of all time (ranking amongst giants such as Jean Michelle Jarr - The Art of Noise - hell...even the prodigy admit to being influenced by aphex twin)
This is simply a 'perfect' album. in 100 years you could argue that people will mention Richard D James in the same breath as Bach....that sounds like a serious overstatement...but buy this record RIGHT NOW and you'll understand why. I hate the word genius...but this is genuinely genius. (and that's a habit that Mr Richard D James has seldom broken)
BUY THIS RECORD!!! It will genuinely enhance your life...and that's not a joke.
The best bar none March 29, 2008

This was Richard James masterpiece before he even went on solids. Brilliant albums and songs later this is still the most cohesive he has done
A masterpiece of the genre... March 11, 2008

If you don't have this incredible record, buy it immediately.
If you're at all into electronica/IDM/Techno, this is one of the defining records of the genre, and one you'll come back to again and again.
Track after track of gorgeous, melodic, beat inspired electronica. Largely recorded onto cassette, giving it an intimate, analog feel, this is intelligent techno at it's very best and still stands as RDJ's best album.
One of my favourite records of all-time...
