Customer Reviews
far-out ambience
Not quite as uplifting as Electro-soma, being rather melancholic in places. I must admit it took me a while to get into. Its more of a grower of an album than having immediate impact. Once you're hooked though, it's a timeless classic of lasting brilliance. Refined electronic composition at its best.
Time Tourist is definitely more on the ambient side of ambient techno, apart from three upbeat tracks, its very soothing indeed. You can really lose yourself in the good tunes. Like someone has already commented, its like a soundtrack to outer space, its perfect for guiding your consciousness far away from every day existence.
Electronica to space travel!
The follow up to the majestical 'Electro Soma' could never outdo or match it, but 'Time Tourist' stands on its own as another fine production from the B12 boys.
All the elements are here; beautiful synth melodies, smooth beats and spacey basslines. It does actually soundlike a soundtrack for space.
If you are at all into electronic music and prefer the more thoughtful and well crafted style of electronica over the dancey trash, then you can do no wrong with this.
The last true classic IDM album...?
Probably the last real IDM album released by Warp, this epic cd closes the door on perhaps the label's best era...
With legendary cover art, brilliantly produced and sounding as fresh today as it did some 11 years ago, it's arguably Warp's last truly classic release. For many, B12's previous outing on the label 'Electro-Soma' remains their defining output, but I'd like to put the case for an album I regard as equally special.
From the chilled, cooled-out opener VOID/COMM with it's expansive beats and spacial sound, this is classic 'Electronic Listening Music' of the highest quality. What caused Warp to veer from this kind of path is beyond me, but we owe the label an immense ammount for championing music of this calibre for so many years...
Track it down and grab it... You won't be disappointed, in fact, you'll be blown away...
