Photek at the peak of his powers. Dawn of the millennium in sound right here. Sit back and let the ocean guide you. Killer beats, aquatic pad patterns. Pure atmosphere.

Neon lights dress commercial buildings stretched tall and wide whilst the air earns a heartfelt kiss from an aurora. When you find yourself in a city as pretty as this, you'll do various things to pass the time, though two come to mind faster than most: one can infiltrate somebody's turf while riding a skeletal boar or sit in silence jamming Solaris. Released on September 19 in the year 2000, it is Rupert Parkes' (aka Photek) third full-length effort. With a total of 11 songs, it's a likable, Zen-carrying house/drum and bass record with a strong one-two punch in "Terminus" and "Junk" and a somewhat disappointing finish. Not everything that's presented here can be considered a victor, but there definitely are a lot of cuts which do a good job proving Parkes' place in the DnB scene. Seeing how Solaris ended up being my first introduction to the curious realm of Photek, his work on album #3 is solid enough for me to look into those other releases.
