The opening track is very cinematic, the immediate image I had was the film "Bladerunner", especially with the sequenced bass-line and strings, a very strong and confident vocal too. "Never Too Late" is a darker sounding track that again has filmic qualities.
Their is a definite Ultravox influence on the impressive "Spit It Out" with the haunting piano and chugging bass-line, superb vocals again on this track.
The Bistromath Remix of "Possibilities" has a similar feel to the previous track. "Moments" is the jewell in the crown so far, a brilliant track that boasts an excellent sequence pattern and achingly beautiful vocals, loved everything about this track. "Hyperspace Bypass" has a wonderful sequenced melody line running through it, a very positive and upbeat track. "The Great Big Nothing" has as it's focal point a powerful vocal set against a dark and moody backing track.
"Afraid" is an uptempo track that uses sampled sound effects and voices and is the one track I struggled to connect with, that said, it does have a good chorus line. Next is "virtues" which is fantastic with it's moody piano stabs and synths which morph into a great minimalisic chorus section, really liked this track.
The final track is a remix by Glenn Main of the track "Never Too Late" and he has done a fantastic job of it, more atmospheric, beautiful piano pieces and a great vocal mix.
Did not know what to expect with this album, but I have to say, it once again shows that Sweden is setting the bar very high where electronic music is concerned, it's a solid album with many highlights and boasts a brilliant fusion of well thought out music and stunning vocals.
8.5/10
