Just goes to show how much Photek polarised the crowd with Solaris. I've seen so many people absolutely tear it to shreds, calling it utterly dull, lazy and regressive.
I need to dig this out again, as I didn't have the patience for it when it came out, being fully immersed in the old Full Cycle-sound at the time.
According to Last.fm I've played the whole album, but I have absolutely no memory whatsoever of how it sounds.

I actually have as well. Glamourama may be the only thing I remember off there.

This is quite worrying, actually. I have a good memory, and I have never, to my knowledge, totally forgotten that I've even heard an album, let alone all impressions of how it sounded. I must have listened to it within the last year, as well.
Haven't heard it but I have 3 of his albums from that era, all dnb, breaks etc. Minimalist/jazzy. The ones w Ni ten ichi ryu or unidentified flying object etc.

You probably smoke more in a week than I have in a year. Like I said, I've got an exceptional memory and I don't want to fuck that up.
EDIT: I still have no memory of any of this, but I've now relistened to a few tracks and think I've probably forgotten about this album because it's really, really boring. I think Photek must be one of those acts I just don't get, along with fellow supposedly groundbreaking junglists 4 Hero.

I am offended. What is your basis for this accusation?!

score. its a bit fast, but i can change that. i guess something like deep house / techno + some hints of atmosphere would be what im looking for after all. bonus for a garagy feel with awesome groove. still, that photek track is wicked...
ok, good then
I'm posting another one from Mark Henning and I'd also like to recommend you to dig the whole Jupiter Jive album of his, which is actually pretty amazing all around
and for those of you who consider Photek's productions bland and unmemorable just listen to this first track of Solaris

there is some awesome quality on that album, and photek is a beast.
his best track though for me, comes from an EP, i dont think any of you will say this track is bad, its really amazing and one of my top tracks spanning genres.
