Schroeder returned somewhat to a more ambient sound, with lush, digital landscapes that sound nothing like the photograph on the cover and more like a spaceship grinding it's way through the universe from a William Gibson novel in alpha state. Almost gone are the drums and drum machines, and the leads are often blended more fully into the mix than before. There's a lot of digital filter sweeps here that grow old and put the CD in it's era, giving it a dated sound at times, but there is also some thick, powerful pads that give the CD a rich feel to it and nothing like this really existed at the time. Out of all of Robert's CDs, this (and ironically, Harmonic Ascendent) hold up best over the years. If I were to recommend one CD of his, it would be either this, HA, or Computer Voice. This is the old version on the IC Label, with the wrong tracks.
