As a vital MUST BUY for the middle of 1999, I'd say there's a long 
list of things I'd place before this.  But if you see it going cheap it's 
worth taking a chance : I've been playing it through this morning 
after your post - it's something that by choice I wouldn't have 
thought of putting on and I can't say it's brilliant, but I'm finding it 
hard to say anything very meaningful about it.

Most tracks are quite long and potter on harmlessly in a darkish 
ambient electronic way, without really having any highs or lows and 
not getting to the point, if you know what I mean.

Yes I know you'll flame and say there doesn't have to be a "point" 
and I'd agree with that in theory, but - argh well, I can't express it 
any better.  I'm too full of anti-histamines to think clearly.
