Too much good talking about this piece of art. I will only insist on recommending this album. A must have in your musical library: beautiful mixture, gorgeous essential .

^ Witty pick Sara! This is a really underrated piece!

Not that I complain about the present-day Sven, but I almost wish his new music was more like this particular album.. This is an experimental work of art that doesn't fall into any clear genre it has a lot of minimalist sounds, its not crappy dance, not ridiculous ambient, but a great combination of both. I also love how he named the tracks, the harlequin represents the happy, amusing side of the album, the robot is the logical and mechanical part and the ballet dancer, more like the emotive face of the piece.

I don't know if you guys know that or not, but Oakenfold remixed all the tunes before playing them into the compilation (same with Travelling and Another World - though am not totally sure about the latter)

Genius! Kind of steals Sasha's thunder in Involver though

The first one has already been shared...check the 1st page

As for the 2nd I'm not sure about it but what the heck...it's here might as well please our eyes and ears to what Oakie was about...

1st compilation is easily one of the highlights of the beginning of the 21st century...
