I've got mixed feelings on this one. I think, for me, while this is a great record, it's also part of the death of DnB. Goldie's Timeless was a huge record, but it was still about the dancefloors. Photek was one of the more prominent people to start treating DnB like a serious artform and it seemed like every other high-profile DnB record that followed Modus Operandi was some quadruple vinyl monstrosity. Basically, as soon as DnB moved from 12"s to full albums, it lost everything that was important about DnB as a dancefloor phenomenon.

Like I say, great record, but it's definitely part of DnB's prog turn.

I totally agree with this

DnB had to die eventually, might as well have ended with two really good albums.

This album has soundtracked so many insane moments in my life..

This album always yields hidden secrets, new beauties. Put it on any time and hear something new, or hear sound in completely new ways. A true masterpiece.
