Du Nord's Take:

When I learned this album was coming out, I knew I had to get it. Shiloh is a perennial favorite of mine in the progressive genre, and the Moreh brothers' work is well known and loved worldwide.

I was a little apprehensive about the quality of the album as a whole as we do see a great deal of "big single–flop album" type of occurrence in every musical field. I had known Shiloh as a quality producer of singles and remixes but wanted to see if this album would produce the same caliber of music as their earlier work. I was not disappointed in the least as this album is perhaps the best collection of memorable and well-produced progressive and even somewhat chill-out songs that these ears have heard to date.

The album starts with the title track, which is somewhat ambient with progressive influence and texture and is such a treat to the ears. The classic "Mana" and "Will You Ever Come Around" are included in this album as well as great remixes by Luke Chable ("Dream On"), David West ("Reaction"), and Furry Nipples ("Face"). The team collaborates with others such as Michelle Chiver on vocals for "Vista Cruz" (great track) and the amazing "All These Things" with LP, which is a true standout. I think "All These Things" is the song BT wishes he wrote. It's very well arranged, and the vocals fit perfectly.

I wouldn't be surprised if these tracks are being spun in clubs around the world, and I have received favorable comments about them here in Hawaii.

Thank you, Shiloh, for delivering with such great style and quality. I really, really like this whole album. By the way, could you guys please do an extended mix of "Sanguinate"? I love that track, and it needs to be longer.
