I'm not particularly into trance music, to the point where I don't even know the names of all the different sub-genres and everything. I have no idea why I bought this album in the first place but I'm glad I did. The first track, "Little Puffy Clouds", is the catchiest track, the most annoying, and the least typical of the album's sound in general. After that it goes into verry long soundscapes that, although they do feature pulsing and pretty much never-stopping beats, are much more suited to a cushy couch or beanbag chair than they are to a dancefloor. I absolutely fell in love with the track "A Huge Ever-growing Pulsating Brain at the Center of the Ultraworld." It was my first exposure to the epic electronic slow-burner, and it really did sound to me at the time like I was floating through the most bizarre and distant reaches of space. It also contains a sample of Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You" with her insanely high-pitched voice, arranged and reverbed so that it sounds like she's calling us back to earth but can't quite get in touch.
