What happened?, April 19 2011
By Damien Schwader - Published on Amazon.com
I won't spend much time on this review, but I can say that as a big fan of most Robert Miles, I could not wait for this release. Organik and Miles Gurtu were fantastic. How does this compare? It doesn't. The jazziness, experimental sound and slick production is gone. What's left is an album that is half down-tempo ambient sounds, half amateur garage rock. The garage band portions of the album sound like a bunch of hippie 55 year old guys jamming in a garage. Wow, terrible. bummer.

Branching out a little more, May 20 2012

I have three Robert Miles albums now - 23 AM, Organik, and Thirteen. I love that each one is completely different than the others and still maintains a high level of production and artistry. I'm glad he doesn't go back to the old 90s style and is constantly willing to experiment and expand. For people that enjoy Children and Dreamland, you can still listen to that and if Miles put out Dreamland 2 you'd be bored with it and complain that he just rehashed the old stuff.I hear a few different influences on this album, from early Porcupine Tree and Photek to Satriani. There are calm, peaceful moments of solo piano as well some D-n-B, jazz and prog rock influence. I think it's a beautiful, interesting, and sometimes even fun album that's been getting better with each listen (5 so far). There is still an ambient electronica vibe throughout, but more traditional instrumentation is highlighted with guitars, bass and drums. I definitely recommend it if you like some variety and checking out something a little different.

Prog Rock B.S., Sep 16 2011
By Michael R. Ames - Published on Amazon.com
The Atmospheric part of this album to me was working great until it self-destructs by adding tired drums and tired Robert Fripp wannabe guitar. Sounds like that lame David Torn trying to crash an ambient party. Wow. Disappointing. A word of advice to Robert: put away that guitar for good and never play drums. Or if you have to play drums, use a drum computer or something fresher like you did on track 9. This music was done way better in the 70's and the 70's have been gone for 32+ years. Time to move on. God, I hate prog rock. The only 2 prog rock bands that are listenable in this day and age are SOME of Pink Floyd and Goblin. Pink Floyd because they were genius songwriter/lyricist/virtuoso musicians with great voices, and ground-breaking, cutting-edge (for the time) production and Goblin because they were virtuoso musicians influenced and inspired by many genres: jazz, Italian and French soundtracks, Pink Floyd/King Crimson prog, and even disco, and combined it all seamlessly into a unique instrumental package that still mostly holds up for its' time. This......35+ years after prog rock prime, does not.
Listmania!
