Patrick is no longer in the group. Eric Van Wonterghem from early
Klinik/Insekt/Monolith has replaced Patrick starting with this release.

I was just listening to this release on the way into work this morning. It
sounds exactly how you would expect it to sound... The Sonar remixes sound

ambient :)
