This is not techno, trance or jungle, but the tracks that don’t even try to be stand pretty good on their own. I liked ’Tristesse’ and ’Aquaria’ the best, and I too liked the oriental elements in ’Pursuit in Istanbul’, although on the whole that track too fell victim to the attempt of mixing with the rougher genres, and failing to impress at that.

Had this been a shorter album with only the unpretentiously electro-ambient tracks, I’d have rated it higher. Alas, the rating is given for the entire album, making me rate it a 6.
