For about ten years now, The Future Sound Of London have developped a luxurious form of music that stands far beyond the "ambient music" label. Right from their second album, Lifeforms, they've gone as far away as possible from dance music to explore new, uncovered, territories, no stranger to Vangelis at his very best. Music became organic, almost alive, almost palpable.This album, their fourth, continues in the footsteps of its predecessors, but, instead of beautiful places, we're here very often dragged into the most unwelcoming places, deep into the dirtiest swamps, where danger is everywhere around. And there's a killer observing you, watching your every move. This is the epic soundtrack of an after the end of the world version of Blade Runner. Sounds of beauty and horror collide every second. Is it a dream or a nightmare? Will you get away? Ever? Try your luck!...
