Bolland's breakout album with a larger crowd continues to display his roots in hard techno while springing a more percussive, wall-of-sound aesthetic closer to
the Prodigy than
Joey Beltram. "The Analogue Theatre," "Counterpoint" and "The Prophet" are up-front trance stormers, and "Electro Power" is an intriguing pastiche of big-beat and acid-rap.
Armand Van Helden's mix of the stellar single "Sugar Is Sweeter" adds a bit of polish to the affair, and
Bolland's feel for mixing gives the album a good flow. ~ John Bush
