"To me, this is another mood record. It's more about pieces, pieces of music. I suppose there are some songs there. There are melodies there but it's a bunch of complex pieces. I have a friend who works at a record store and he told me that this album is the most returned album they ever get. I guess people put it on and it's not what they expect from Miles Davis. It's not a bebop record. It's very orchestrated, it's jazz clusters, not rhythm. I hadn't really thought about it but I guess there are a few vibe albums on this list. I love a good album of pop songs but there is something about these ones that you can put on while you're going to sleep, when you're chilling out or after work. It's more about turning off your mind and letting the music wash over you. I like those kinds of records. "

"This is a record that shaped my musical path as a musician for a long time. My hardcore trump card in life is that I saw them in 1998 in front of about 100 people. They were fucking amazing. When I went to that gig I had the record and I was a little bit confused by it. It was a very divisive record in the scene because of the electro elements. Over time I came to adore it. I did once fly to Sweden to buy a Dennis Lyxzén solo album because I couldn’t find it anywhere I can play this entire record in my sleep. Everything I did with Million Dead was informed by this album. I wasn’t really a fan of the new record, but I did once fly to Sweden to buy a Dennis Lyxzén solo album because I couldn’t find it anywhere. The guy in the record store thought I was out of my fucking mind, which arguably I was"
