A cursory look at the track list will immediately inform the potential listener of the equilibrium they are about to bear witness to. That’s a rather long-winded way of saying that this collection has balance and, as befits its soundtrack status, depth and ambience. Without going into the exhaustive detail provided by the press release, suffice to say that there’s a concept at work here, whatever the case this is a sumptuous peace of work, the sonic range of which operates on multiple sensory levels. Not everything is as might be expected: ‘Lazer Battle At The OK Corral’ with its John Wayne samples feels out of place, sandwiched as it is between the pounding ‘Life Is The Illusion . . .’ and the more reflective ‘Version Excursion’, but it works, thanks in no small part to its low end, which is just a variant vertebra on the albums spine. ‘Once Upon A Time’ and ‘The Final Scene (Fades To Black)’ serve as atmospheric frictional fade in and out bookends, and within their confines there are all sorts of stellar goodies with ne’er a bum note throughout.
BTW, here's an interview I did with A Sagittariun many moons ago.
