6th studio album by Underworld who has now again become the original duo without Darren Emerson. After the great Beaucoup Fish (1999) the trio released its first live album Everything, Everything in 2000, and in 2001 the band was reduced to a duo, as Darren Emerson left the band, now leaving it all up to Karl Hyde and Rick Smith to continue on their own as they had started out.
The album is still a fine progressive house release, although, it doesn't quite reach the same level as the '99 album.
"Two Months Off", however, is a brilliant track and one of their absolute best, and where the album didn't open up as immediate as the biggest success, this has a more long-lasting impact and functions more as a whole and may require more willed spins on your preferred player to fully sink in.
