Previously hearing only one track of Altom's (Equation from VA - New Frontiers), I expected a full-onish album with some progressive touches.
(T1) Kicking off with Some Place Else, a nice blend of a smooth groove, intelligent progression and some uplifting (and somewhat clubby) vibes... Very nice. (T2) The album then continues with 200%, a no nonsense dancefloor mover. Still uplifting and groovy, with some psychedelic melodies keeping the smile on my face. (T3) Hologram up next, working up a stormy high paced groove. Well built, but didn't blow me away. (T4) Fast and bouncy beats start pounding as Magnetic Force kicks off. Fast developing, and the first full-on track of this album. Not noisy and very intelligent, but that stereotypical full-on lead sound got me pissed off at an otherwise excellent track. (T5) Continuing with the fast paced grooves, but the uplifting touches in this track. From the break on, this track is a real mover. (T6) Intoxicated is another uplifting track that gives what's expected... With a very powerful twist in the end. (T7) Up Grader is pretty aptly named, giving some great uplifting music. (T8) Full-on all the way for the first time in the album. I've got to say, executed well, but again, not really special. (T9) Plasma is a nice chillout track, I found it very relaxing, as well as it offers some nice flutes (not quite Raja Ram though).
A solid album, combining progressive grooves, full-on touches, a lot of melodies and proffesional execution. Nothing you haven't heard in other tracks before, and it gets pretty dull at times, and not one of the top releases of the year, but definately a good one for a premiere album from an act that released only 2 tracks on compilations prior to this release.

I was surprised and very impressed by this album... more 'intelligent' fullon or something. Whatever:)
Anyway, I particularly like track 5 which is one of my favourite tunes (by anyone) at the moment.... also 3 & 4 !

After 4 years this still sounds really fresh, this is a fantastic album. Cant really hear this kind of sound at any parties these days, which is a shame, great full-on music without the repetative basslines
