i really prefer single ambient pieces in shorter bursts, rather than longer sections...
but each to their own - this may be more to other's liking so enjoy it if you do

i agree with you. It is an excellent indication of the ambient side of Underworld, and though there are lots of cool subtleties, for me, it's not very memorable. In contrast, i can recall/hum/sing various tracks from LBT and to a lesser extent, P4E.
For me, this is beautiful music for doing something else, but it probably won't be the first record i reach for if i wanna hear some UW!
There are also grades of ambient music. For some folks, the more minimal, the better. Personally, i can't take fifteen minutes of a single droning sound (not saying that UW did this!). On the other spectrum is something like the Orb (ambient house, i suppose they're considered), which i totally dig because the sounds keep changing throughout those 15 minutes.
Still, i can totally appreciate "I'm a big sister" and am all the more looking forward to the soundtrack, since it probably has more in the way of experimental sounds/ambient bits versus dance and lyric-driven tracks. Just speculatin'.
