Review: You can get a good idea of what this CD sounds like by looking at the cover. The sound is earthy and organic, stripped of previous trip-hop influences.

It does not come out and grab you on the first go round. You will want to give it a number of listens and let it grow on you before making your final judgment.LIsten to the samples of "Absinthe", "Safe In Your Arms", "Conceived" and "Rectify" to check this reviewers sensibilities. The best track is "What We Begin", available as a bonus track on the limited edition. (The other four bonus tracks were left off the original CD for good reasons.)
Is the review positive or negative?
