Sounds great on a 5.1 setup, as the rear speakers add another dimension to the overall atmosphere of the music, the bass had my windows shaking too, (note to self, need better sub). Like many have said you need to be in the right mood or taking the right substance to get you into the right mood to get it, for me i'm listening on a sunny sunday afternoon, so probably not the best time.

To sum up, it's very well produced and in parts interesting especially using a 5.1 setup which enhances the atmospheric side to the music, but unless you're stoned or pissed it's a little unappealing, for me no more than a 5/10

I suppose I'd better vote, I've been holding back till I had something interesting to say but unfortunately I don't. 2/10. No toons man

Much as others, I suppose, this didn't grab me at all. It certainly feels like a film soundtrack & I'm rarely able to sit and listen to one of those. I could see (at a pinch) myself having it playing while doing something else. But then, to do that, I'd have to own it and I'm not moved enough by it to spend cash on it!
An interesting exercise, but I'd rather move on from here, thanks.
3/10

Take your time, no rush after all

I still need to get round to Mikes recent offering, another Spotify sesh needed....

That just made me think - who's up this evening?

Thanks Mark, just wanted you to know I hadn't forgotten - TBH right now I am spinning my next album club choice

**Reid Malenfant** · 08-05-2012, 19:04

Looks like Mike is up again this evening... I'll be in for a double dose when I get round to it shortly

Well this was indeed very interesting Mark. I must admit before listening to it I thought I wasn't going to enjoy it after reading some of the comments, but I was determined to play by the Album Club rules and listen without pre-judging.

I reckon to get the most from it I would need to be in a darkened room and in the right mood, but to be honest I really enjoyed it sat listening with headphones in the office, whilst working on a horrible computer job. It put me in mind of the music from a computer game called Homeworld, the scene in the Karos Graveyard I think - very moody and atmospheric. I actually found it very calming and may well have to play it again when I have another tricky computer problem! I think I may also buy it too, so it gets a thumbs up from me Mark and I was going to give it 7/10, but I reckon for dark room and whiskey listening it deserves more, so its 8/10 from me
