5th studio album by Underworld follows three years after Second Toughest in the Infants (Mar. 1996) 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 this is highly recommended.
