It's difficult to rate this album. The reason is simple: Fans of Apoptygma Berzerk will be surprised by what they get. It's totaly different to the kind of music apop used to present. It's way more than just moving forward, it's a different kind of style - from future pop to jean-michel jarre. No vocals, just 80s-style ambient electro. In my opinion, Stephan should have chosen another name for this album / project, it's definetly not Apoptygma Berzerk. Leaving this behind, you get something very special, an awesome rarity in these days. Just don't expect Apop, and you will find sounds and spheres you might like. I do.

At the same I don't think it could be released as anything else, given it holds extremely personal significance for Stephan who has always been the core member of Apop and his band. Releasing it as a side project may not have done it any favours...

Spot on review, I really like this album but by no means does it feel like Apop to me.

Absolutely stellar release and with a ton of production value behind it. You can tell Stephan is putting a lot of effort into making the release not just sound retro but also authentically so by using a lot of oldschool analogue hardware and paying proper homage to his roots. It's sort of a "back to the basics" kind of record with no vocals and more experimentation than earlier releases and might be considered more of a sideproject but it is an amazing one at that.The mastering is absolutely flawless on the vinyl and the music breathes and lives in a way that you'd have to go back to those late 70's records to get an equal feeling with. With how much analogue instrumentation lays behind this production, it's awesome to hear the sounds have been treated with so much respect and reverence.Highly recommended!
