One of the greatest albums of all time.

Andrew Bayer is a remarkable artist. I found this album last year and to this day it is still my personal favorite album. I have a load of music in my library of all sorts of genres (nearly every genre except pop and country), nearly 2000 songs total, and yet Andrew Bayer remains at the height of all of it. His ambient expertise is unrivaled. On to the album. The songs on here that really stood out to me are Nexus 6, Counting The Points, Paper Cranes, and From The Earth. Nexus 6 is actually my personal favorite on the album, the way it's chaotic sound blends with the ambient atmosphere is unforgetable. Counting The Points is plainly and simply, epic. It starts out with a chilling organ theme, then it kicks off into a sound that reminds me of some Deadmau5 remixes (notably, his remix of The Longest Road by Morgan Page), then the melody morphs into a more chaotic part at the end. Paper Cranes... I don't know what to say about this, but it's one of the highlights of the album. From The Earth is an uplifting breakbeat with a beautiful melody. I would recommend buying this to anyone. If there is a single person who doesn't like it, they're either a soulless trance fan or they just haven't listened to it very well.

This is not really trance, maybe has some trance elements, but it is mostly experimental and glitch.
Motivational

every track is different and can stand on its own. Nexus 6 is really the only track that I'm not crazy about but the synth Andrew uses on the track is pretty wild. Overall, however, this album is fantastic.
Andrew is the kind of bass lines

Exceptionally written. Perfectly vibrant.
Andrew makes great use in contrast of the high and low notes. The low notes being his strength.
Nexus 6 starts the album off beautifully and We Will Return ends it with a chance for more.
If you're looking for trance, look elsewhere. Andrew Bayer is beyond trance, he's a composer. And a good one.
It's a Perfect Album.

It's absolutely awesome. The main thing I love about this album is how diverse it is. Every song sounds different, yet as a whole, the album flows together perfectly. Only Andrew Bayer could pull off such a genre-bending masterpiece, and only Anjunabeats would have the balls to release it.
Truly Astonishing!!!

No other Electronic album in my huge archive of music (besides BT's "These Hopeful Machines" and "This Binary Universe") has been able to deliver such an emotional and technological journey that is truly blissful, though-provoking and inspirational. This has become one of my new favorite albums ever. 5 out of 5, Mr. Andrew Bayer!
A beautiful, melodic journey!

People will disregard this album because it's not a dance mix; said people will be missing out on just how beautiful and diverse trance music can be as a genre. Andrew Bayer is a genius! Personally, in this album, I think Andrew Bayer does to trance what Nujabes and Tokimonsta did for hip-hop. This album is experimental and expands one's mind, as well as definition of what trance music is!
Enlightening!

I have to admit, at first I was a little confused by the change of styles as the album progressed. However, after a couple listens, I've come to really appreciate the mix of genres as each song really is great and stands on their own. Great music here. You can tell Bayer really took his time to come up with something unique.
