ReviewsIncluded in Q's Best Chill-Out Albums of All Time - "...introverted, career-knackered album....Mark Hollis(lead singer) suggested it's best to be listened to 'in a calm mood, with no distractions': succinct advice for all great chill-out albums.", "Its breadth and scope are intimidatingly large: Silence is as important as tone, stasis is as important as movement. Inky chord progressions resolve into mystery, and lyrics leave only afterimages.", "Beneath is a utopian cavern of sonic heaven -- double-bass moans, flickers of muted trumpet, sizzling cymbals, violent clashes of electric guitar.", "Part of the enduring appeal of this uniquely beautiful work is its refusal to yield its secrets, compelling you to return over and over again.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "SPIRIT OF EDEN was a masterpiece....Its ebbing and flowing atmospherics and explosive dynamics had fare more in common with Miles Davis's more out-there works than, say, former peers Duran Duran.", 3 stars out of 5 - "With more pregnant pauses, splashes of colour and layers of sleepy angst, it's a beautiful-sounding record..."
