well atleast the sound still remains very very A R R........you can recognise an A R R track immediately even if you never heard it before ....this has been the case for the past 16 years........spare a thought for music lovers of other musicians/groups.....Enigma and Deep forest for example whose music i absolutely adored.......the E5 album changed everything and the E6 didnt have the sound of Enigma...ditto for Deep Forest's Music Detected.........On the other hand a guy like Nitin Sawhney is very much moving on the same path as A R R.......his Beyond Skin still remains my all time favourite but he still maintains his sound with his latest work.
