Royal Way of Privacy is not only unique to Mota Atma, it is unique to the entire TD output!

It could have come with the following info:

This album is a soundtrack and all of the tracks bar one are so very similar! Feel free to pay the price of an album for an EPs worth of music at the most, and that putting it mildly.

Wow, this could be the most over-rated TD album by some, ever!

There are enough fans who feel it is a disaster as it is.

The first review I read for Mota Atma before I bought it made sound like a real return to form. I would have bought it anyway but have only listened to it about 7 or 8 times and haven't played it in a long time. I remember it's first spin and I actually found myself wanting to put it off. I know it is a soundtrack but it just seems like it was knocked up in about one day. I can't for the life of me find anything on this CD of great merit.

Regarding the 90's as a whole I liked most of the output. Tyranny, TOTT, Great Wall.., Seven Letters.., Mars Polaris were IMO decent albums which took TD of on another tangent which I at least enjoyed.

Never let anyone try to influence you to change your mind about what you like John, you know who I'm talking about.

I think every ... and I mean EVERY ... TD album has at least one or two standout compositions. Even the albums I rarely listen to have some tunes on them that make them worth buying.

I'm not a fan of the "Rockoon" album but I love "Big City Dwarves", "Touchwood" and the title track. My TD collection would just feel incomplete without this album and therefore I never regretted the purchase.

Maybe "Mota Atma" would work better as an album with two or three tracks removed from the tracklist. But I must admit I couldn't say which tune would have to leave. It's just that a 70 minutes long soundtrack may be a bit much for some people. As I said I like the album.

I thought SIN was one of these records, for the first five listens, but as MrCox, there's always some music, that's worthwile. And it has grown on me, although the watery sounds makes me need to go to the bathroom.
I think the worst TD album is The Hollywood Years Vol.2

I really got into Mota Atma when it was first released, probably because it had been quite a while since they had done anything like that. My interest soon faded and now I think of it as a so-so album but not a real stinker, one or two good tracks.

I dug out Mota Atma earlier and listened all the way through. There are some reasonable moments and it does contain some new sounds on it. It's still too long though but maybe it's not in there with the worst TD albums.

I like Mota, it was finally an album with some decent numbers on it after a lot of disappointing ones. But what do you expect after so many albums. Of course there are some disappointing titles in the huge collection.

Mmm, yes. If you listen very carefully to Mota Atma you will here that most of the tracks are a variation on maybee a handfull of ideas. But thats the last I'm going to say as I know a lot of people love this album
