I gave it a seven. There's some really nice chilled sounds in there but nothing really stands out. Still, overall it's not bad at all.
I'd give PFE a 8.5, mostly because the first two tracks are abolustely brilliant, and the rest pretty decent as well. LBT would probably get also 7 from me. Some good moments but not really enough to keep me coming back for more.

Have you tried changing the name of the file to something else? Had this problem too and Lloyd pointed me in the right direction. I just changed mine to 05 Slideshow.mov and it works a treat in Media Player Classic.

As there are 5 tracks, then I'd have to rate each track out of 2. therefore i think i'll rate each track out of 20 and then total up to give a %. not finished listening yet still sinking in. no point in voting yet. i think i'll split the files also first. Still perfecting the CUE file.

i voted initially 7, but i'd like to downgrade my mark to a 5, because i think that this is more than 30% off perfect and nearer to just 50% good -

in a sense - will i be listening to this in 6 months time? no probably not - i might dip back into it but its not something that i will put on and play back because i really dig it, because i don't think i will....

thats not to say i don't like the music in it or the production, which i think are both great, its just as a piece of music it really doesn't do anything for me...

i really prefer single ambient pieces in shorter bursts, rather than longer sections, and I much prefer P4E & LBT and i'd only rate those 8 & 7 out of 10 respectively, so to give this 7 was initially a bit rash and so would like it noted that i rate this 5 in retrospect

overall as a package the deal is great - a cover, the quicktime movie etc, but I really won't be revisiting it that often....

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'.
