Yep - I have been listening to it for quite a while. I bought it in my first major bunch of 'ambient' albums a while back. I think I posted a few brief thoughts about it here in on of my ambient related posts (when I was pretty new to the genre... hell, I still am).

Distance is a nice example of the ambient sub-genre that is more about the lounge/ chill-out/ melodic feel, rather than the more overtly sound-scaped (visual-type) or drone-based styles. It seems - for me - to strike a combination the mild melancholic and the propulsive; relaxing yet not sleep inducing. I can put it on when I am not feeling like anything confronting or jarring and often come away feeling subtly uplifted.

I believe thay have had a release since, but it is available as MP3 download only.

My views of Distance pretty-much fit with yours. Thanks for posting your thoughts.

Cheers
