detectivekr Over the years that I have listened to this album, I have found myself liking different tracks as my tastes change. Recently I have really liked "Overpass". There is a strong enduring quality to this album. However even as my tastes change, I believe the first track will always be my favorite. Favorite track: Who's Afraid of Noises?.

about

Completely licensed via Creative Commons, and even using multiple CC-licensed recordings as samples, SinQ's blend of triphop, electronics, and ambient is evocative and beautiful, with first track 'Who's Afraid Of Noises?' using haunting female vocals, samples from noted Dutch jazz pianist Jeroen van Vliet, and a loping Bristolian sound to air things out in a rather wonderful way.

In general, it's either an ambient hush or gorgeous blisslike nu-chill, reminiscent of some of the best of the genre, with 'Be Brave' rinsing out the evocative, Overpass building up a kind of slow train groove, and 'Are You There?' leading up to a soundtrack high. Things all end out with 'Epiloque', again gorgeous, and really the epitome of what Monotonik has tried to provide for the last few years - the best headphone music you can find.

Gordon Hackman June 16, 2008 A contender for best netlabel release ever...
If asked to name my favorite netlabel release ever, I would probably name Esem's "Scataren" album. This album, however, ranks pretty close to that one and might even give it a run for its money. Like the Esem album, this is an extremely well written and produced melodic IDM record which often conjures up wistful feelings. This one differs, however, in having a more soulful feel on a number of the tracks, including some well done vocals on the track "Be Brave." Sometimes the music has an almost ominous feel to it, though never in a way that is oppressive or scary. Whereas the Esem album seems more like a trek through some exotic jungle landscape, this album, often through the effective use of sampled voices and sounds, gives the feel of being far more rooted in an everyday urban/suburban setting, though still giving a sense of the mysterious and beautiful that lurks within and behind the everyday reality. Excellent stuff.
