I was in Montreal for MUTEK 10th Anniversary edition. Gas opened the festival with a live performance and the visuals were all based around this dark forest theme, very much like this cover.F U C K I N G A M A Z I N G

This release is my favorite cover art of all time. A never-ending forest of haunted sounds and thunderous bass that is remote and sinister. No other producer that I've ever heard sounds like this. As I sit here and try to encompass the sounds, and the cover art, in my own words, I feel like I just can't say what I want to because this whole package is just so awe inspiring. Click the images to view the outer sleeve and inner sleeve covers. Look as far into those drawings as you can. Notice how you feel absorbed and intrigued. You want to go there but its not a real place, so its up to the music to take you there. Then take that sense of wanting and curiosity multiplied times 10 and you'll understand what the record feels like. All 4 tracks are stunners. I usually just pick one out its sleeve at random and press play with it pitched down a couple notches. Epic beyond words. I wouldnt sell this if my house was foreclosed and my neighbor's children were starving. From my cold dead hands they will pry it.

I also have the 4 cd's box set but I happen to listen more to this 2x vynil compilation. For those who like a lot the Gas sound without being able to stand a 4/4 beat for more than 16 minutes, this is the best choice for a gloomy rainy morning.
