Having heard some of Darkrooms previous efforts, Fallouts 1-3 and Freefall I can tell you that by the fifth play this album was doing things I never expected. The music is rooted in ominous and down tempo atmospherics and is primarily electronic music, but not as you know it if you have followed the electronica path of recent years. Where a lot of electronica strives to create music out of sounds generated from within the guts of a cold hearted machine, Darkroom uses technology to make completely natural, organic sounds. This is why the album is so pleasant to take as a complete entity. Deep sounds interact with full ambience. The music requires concentration and interaction from the listener. This record could become an advertising execs dream, incorporating sonic twists and turns with some lovely clicks and bleeps within the structures, but they are never overly disorientating, thus expanding the listener’s tolerance and possibly introducing listeners to the concept that computers can make a totally different type of music. This is not a difficult album to fall in love with. Team this up with the Fallout trilogy recordings plus Freefall and you will have nearly five hours of the finest electronic music of recent times.

Now available in a much nicer package; and it sounds slightly different to these ears!
