About This Album A new signing to All Saints, this album is a chilled journey through the empty, early morning streets of any metropolis in the world. Glimpses of urban life not understood. Never feeling quite complete, the missing parts soon become apparent as essential elements to the album's cool elegance. This is the Ambient for the 21st Century. Classic Rock Society Like the Icelandic Sigur Ros, they give the music space to breath, space to expand, and worm its way into your consciousness. This is a superb piece of atmospheric ambient rock. Wonderful.

| Uncut Fans of Mogwai's celestial peaks or Labradford's weightless drift would do well to investigate this fine album by a publicity-shy pair. A sleek response to their 2003 debut, Under Wires And Searchlights, Distance's seven instrumental pieces unfold slowly, gracefully. Sleepless and These European Cities suggest Boards Of Canada fleshed out by Basic Channel, while Buildings And People could be Tortoise burnished by Brian Eno. You can see why: like Eno, these guys are master manipulators. The Wire Deftly structured and sensitively performed, each of the seven compositions is a burnished and reflective set of surfaces, beautifully blank and capable of capturing the attention. | |||||||||
