Having enjoyed Solaris in general, written positive reviews of some albums, and marked as a favoured group; here I find I have to address one of my pet peeves which occurs all too often on albums with any of the ambient, electronic, new age, or whatever tags. Namely audible and intelligible spoken text. This, to me, is a distraction rather than an enhancement of a piece of music UNLESS it meets one of the following four criteria:
1. Is set to pitches (lyrical-song) or (angular-sprechstimme), or
2. Is a recitation of poetry relevant to the theme of the movement or piece, and accompanied appropriately, or
3. Is a word which is inherently "musical" with or without its meaning attached; e.g. in English the word "silver" would be an example, or
4. Is electronically manipulated with or without the requirement of comprehensibility; i.e. becomes a musical ingredient.

The repetition of audible words in this album (really no more than the title element of the movement) detracted rather than enhanced the music itself. Just my opinion (although I could cite neurological arguments in support of this view).

I found this album to be interesting, entertaining, with good music, I must admit their are a lot of voice samples, but to me, they made it a bit more fun, relaxed and entertaining to listen to and enjoy.

I enjoy the music itself quite a bit, but there are plenty of vocal samples which make the entire album feel corny. Hallucinogen was a lot of fun, however.
