    On The Isness, Future Sound Of London/AA completely scrap their sound signature for an entirely Floydian-Neo-Psychedelia feel of an album. From start to finish you're taken on a wild journey that tributes both The Wall, and The Final Cut. Yet this albums undertone is supremely electronic, it still sounds flawless in its form. Going from the Synth-based "Elysian Feels" to the Banjo-lead "Go Tell It To The Trees Egghead" is only a one song difference, yet it showcases just how versatile the instrumental range is in this album. I'd say the only downfall is the atrocious titles.

      I've been looking around. My copy has the same catalognumber as this one, but it doesn't have a 32 page booklet! and the track names are mispressed: Goodbye Sky (Reprise) and The Galaxial Pharmaceutical are switched on the sleeve and on the 4-page booklet. My version comes in a digipack actually
