Or is this album just a (happy) fluke? Good GOD, that > ninth track... Just picked this up last Friday - happily includes a bonus disc as well :-) I'm not enamoured of the female vocals in a few places. I prefer femme vox a la Orbital, rather than the way it is done here. Other than that, it is a more down-tempo affair than previous LSG. The previous LSG "The Black Album" is harder and darker, like the remixes on the bonus disc. The first two "Rendezvous In Outer Space" and "Volume 2" are more melodic trance. There is a comp on Hooj called "Collected Works" that is a mix of the best stuff of the first two LSG releases. I lost count how many releases I have that contain "Netherworld" (which coincidently uses the same sample from Orb's "Blue Room"). Cheers, Geoff
