If any album needs a written philosophy, it is this one. Virus do not state what the philosophy behind this album is, but the album hangs together as a journey into the subconscious as well as the spiritual. Although it has a major dance feel to it, it also has an ambient, as well as Meditational, side. This double CD album contains two stylistic aspects: disc one has a heavy underground sound, with a good bass; while disc two is slightly lighter in tone and contains vocal elements. Some tracks are monotonous, but Virus make good use of instruments and sounds and have a good energy feel to them; though one or two tracks are definitely reminiscent of X Files' incidental music! Most of this album isn't chart accessible, but would certainly thrive underground.
