5th studio album by Underworld and to me this the absolute best album by the trio. Although, they have taken a move away from breakbeat, I think this is a masterpiece of progressive house. I have listened to this album a thousand times and I still enjoy it. It's also my first acquisition with the band.
As one of the best albums of the year it's highly recommendable.
