5 stars Given time, this is without doubt the most fulfilling, emotional , imagination-inspiring album ever made. For a one off listen , it is too much to comprehend , you feel confused and bewildered. I have now listened perhaps 1000 times , and only now can I appreciate how wonderful this piece of art is .

Every change of sound within this album and within each track bends the listeners emotions and imagination with ease, and you are unable not to be drawn in and be played with like a doll.

Words cannot describe the emotional journey this album takes you on , it will touch a part of you deeper than you thought anything or anyone could. Try playing this album in a house by your self , with the lights off and curtains drawn , and feel the intensity and watch your life flash before your eyes. You will begin to coincide parts of this album with events or people in your own life - its that touching .

I do not want to try and diagnose each track for you, as I feel you will create your own atmosphere and own thoughts for what each track represents to you. But look for the feeling of calm and peace during 'How to disappear completely' and the change in your thoughts during the hectic 'Idioteque' , and during the finale 'Motion Picture Soundtrack' - close your eyes and find yourself imagining the end of your life, knowing there is nothing you can do to change your past and knowing you cannot tell people how your truley feel, find yourself accepting the end with all senses switched off except your mind on overdrive, again like your life flashes before your eyes.

Then the album ends, your eyes open realising it was just your imagination endulging in the moment . Take a deep breath and watch as for the near future your will take a more thoughout approach to life and do what truley makes you happy.

Unitl the next time you drink a beer and you go back to your same old self , oh well .
