Awesome. Work of genius. - By: , 30 Mar 2002 
Why is David Holmes so relativly unknown, even after producing work of this jaw dropping quality, when his emulators, such as Fat Boy Slim get so huge? This album just makes old Norm seem so...crass. Subtle, delicate, groovy & oh-so-cool, this album is a film, it's a huge hollywood blocbuster without pictures. It feels not like a collection of seperate tracks, but a continual narrative. An album in the truest sense of the word. I came across Holmes by accident & now just want everything he's ever done.
Buy this buy this buy this buy this.
Quality, mate - By: , 16 Jun 2000 This is brilliant, plain & simple. A real mix of styles - some are plain funky (my mate paul), some are heartachingly beautiful (don't die just yet) & some make you want to laugh out loud with exhilaration (headrush on lafayette). All mashed together over a backdrop of the sounds of new york. Buy this.
And also buy his essential mix LP (it's on amazon, but not as david holmes. It's the essential mix 1998 one, I think, by various artists. The one that starts with contact by brigette bardot, anyway. That's even better than this)
David Holmes; I'd shake your hand & say "fair play to ya"! - By: jphillips@jaguarcomms.com, 09 Feb 2000 What a superb album this is !
Bought it about 18 months ago.. & within about the 2nd/3rd airing of it, ABSOLUTELY fell in love with it.
Would MOST DEFINATELY now be in my "Top 5" CDs out of the 40+ that I own.
I rate it so highly that (about 2 weeks ago) bought his earlier album: "This flim's crap, lets slash the seats" (via this site of course ! ) just on the sound of this CD.
Favorite tunes for me are No. 3 & 12 - beautiful ! Moody, Mellow & Mysterious would be one way to describe alll the tunes.
I say to alll those who read this review:
"Enough of reading this - go buy it ! ".
You WON'T be disappointed.....
