Less minimal than Pigs in Space. I particularly like Outer Conception and Why not on Mars ? The rest of the songs is okay, not brilliant. 7/10

The second best Psy album I own with IFO. I bought it one year ago and it still sounds so moving. I can understand some people said it's not pure Psy because for instance you don't find those acid sounds (that I can't stand anymore BTW) so common in other Psy releases. Instead, you have other instruments being introduced. But for me, this is an excellent attempt to define a new Psy sound by mixing musics that normally don't fit. And they made that perfectly. The Gathering was much more Psy mainstream, even with some nice innovations. This one is something completely different. And the cover art is probably the most original I've seen on a Psy album, with a wonderful 3D texture. 9.5/10

Sorry, I TOTALLY fucked up !!! I wrote the above review whereas I hadn't listened to the album for more than a year, what a mistake !! It sounds great, I don't know where I found the production problem, it's nonsense. Compared to all the minimal stuff you find nowadays, it's so refreshing to listen to so good old school tracks. 8/10 for the whole album, definitively !

I'm not used to saying this kind of word, but the production sucks big time here ! I bought it because I loved the Silence version on Travelling 1 : the song loses all of its uplifting power here !! Very disappointing... Cthulhu, Cosmic Ripple and Herbs and Spices would sound pretty great with a better sound for sure. 1/10 for the sound quality, 8/10 for the composition of these 4 tracks.

if you don't have this, do your self a favour and get it yesterday
