  Comments:

  Continuing pretty thoroughly in Ima's vein, ESCM is another collection of   
  ambient-progressive electronic music with as much interest in new age       
  blissouts as dancefloor action. This said, ESCM is stronger all around,     
  with a more varied sense of overall rhythm dynamics than the basic          
  build-and-release trance climaxes that were the bread and butter of Ima.    
  Opening track "Firewater" shows this well with its initial rhythm, a        
  shuddering, slightly distorted tribal drum stomp instead of a straight      
  pulse. Swooping synths and ecstatic vocals mix with deep spoken-word        
  vocals about "fire in the sky," and when the main beats kick in, it's       
  shuffling funk that carries the track to even higher and stronger levels.   
  Concluding with acoustic guitar and rough, soulful vocals, it makes for     
  quite a stunning start, signaling the album's greater ambitions and         
  success at delivering the same. While "Orbitus Teranium" sounds like it     
  should be a tribute to the Orb, the crisp drum machine generated            
  breakbeat punch of the track is much more BT's affair, spiked up with       
  sudden stops, interjections, and laser sounds. As the album continues,      
  hints of polite if active drum and bass influences and other recent beat    
  touches crop up on other tracks even as the more familiar techno beats      
  kick in, while quirky, abrupt synth stabs lend a slightly retro air to      
  the proceedings as well. In that vein, the most retro and most successful   
  track at once is "Lullaby for Gaia," with a high bass line clearly          
  cloning Peter Hook's groundbreaking work for Joy Division and New Order.    
  Jan Johnston's lovely, ethereal vocals, sounding a touch like a very        
  polite Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins, adds the finishing touch to a       
  perfect number. Not everything works, admittedly ù "Solar Plexus," an       
  attempt at semi-industrial rock, has nothing on, say, Prodigy.
