2 pages is just not what I like about music, though the hype forced me to
listen to it many times to see if there was anything i was missing. I have
nothing against conventional musicians, vocals.  Hell, i like those things.
 It may have something to do withthe fact that i have the edited US version
(where almost all the tracks from the 2CD uk version are cut to fit on the
1CD US version).  The light songs are too light, overly pleasant (i called
them New Agey before, but someone didn't like that).  Still, I don't see
much difference between the light half of the album and a Goldie/John Tesh
Collab, except that that would have mroe interesting beats.  Basically, the
album hits me in the same place as Timeless, which i understand to be one
big waste of time. (To me.)  And Two Pages' hard dancefloor songs (what?
all three?) are just boring for jungle.
