If this was one of the last identifiable trance records Hooj put out, it was some way to go ... outstanding production from John Graham, and a unique record ( owing as much to the original roots of trance, ie : Moroder's ' I Feel Love', and back even further to the likes of Ashra ( Manuel Gottshching, than any mid late - 90's influences ).
Top 10 Hooj record for us, no question.

If you're expecting Sasha's trademark progressive house/trance on his latest release, you will be sorely disappointed. Pivoting from-and deliberately not creating the status quo of electronic music-Sasha curates a lavish landscape that delves into avant-garde and "anti-dance dance music' territories with this stunning release of lush ambient soundscapes, surrealist breakbeats, subterranean techno, and laid back downtempo cuts. This is a deep, contemplative music you can dance to, sort of. DAS VILLAIN
When listening to this album it’s easy to imagine hearing it at a club night with John. Massive energy but beautiful and melodic in all the right places, with thoughtful and clever mixing. Congrats to all artists in involved. mrtwilo
