Notes

Sample sources:

Out of Control – "From the far horizons of the unknown come transcribed tales of new dimensions in time and space; these are stories of the future, adventures in which you'll live in a million could-be years on a thousand may-be worlds" is the intro to the US 1950s sci-fi radio-play series 'X Minus One'. Muslim chant sample at approximately 6:25 is from 1988 film 'Powaqqatsi'.

Interval – "Something's going to happen—something wonderful" is from 1984 film '2010' (sequel to '2001: A Space Odyssey').

      i see some of the prices here really disturbing against the qaulity they are selling for. ... no one will ever buy a copy of this production if it scratched . pops and other nasties ..... If i can not personaly hear it then im happy to buy the cd or a hi-res file online. , cos i know how good these flac files sound on a good system ... what would you do ? dont rely on discogs , if you search you CAN find.

        Are there any plans for a vinyl rerelease? This year would make so much sense (30th anniversary).

          I seem to the Mixmag review saying that it wasn't something for the "fluffy bra posse". If you them!
          People, such sexism/classism wouldn't fly these days.
          TBH I bought it and barely listened to it - had expected something more ambient and it was more dark and beat driven...
          Not sure if it's really up there with the greats of ambient techno. Doesn't really bring much to the party in of innovation and too foreboding and paranoia inducing for a reliable comedown album. Reminds me of the disappointment I experienced when Massive Attack released Mezzanine and a lot of it was dark and menacing. Excuse the ramblings.
          Worth a few quid if you've got the vinyl! And I'm listening now on Spotify and really enjoying its chilled out groove...

                  As collector of nineties electronic music I would rank this at the very top of that era. I reading the mixmag review, back then it was a ok publication. The reviewer used the word masterpiece and gave it a 10. I could not agree more in fact to me this is Robert's magnum opus. The level of production and attention to detail is exquisite. If you love electronic music you will love this...

                    One of the core classic LP's from early 90's Electronica/Techno. Essential listening. I absolutely love this album. It.never ceases to be relevant, a masterpiece!

                        the same synthesizer sound can be heard in
                        Robert Leiner ‎– Out Of Control
                        and
                        North Central Positronics ‎– Smell The Glove (1994)
                        both tracks apparently were released almost at the same time.
