Those who look at this album-length "EP" as the next bold step in the evolution of the ever-progressing Goldie will be disappointed, simply because that's not what it's supposed to be. As Goldie himself admits, his musical passions and creativity experienced a rebirth in the making of SATURNZ RETURN, and the cuts here offer remixes of tracks from that recording, presenting an intriguing alternate view of the album. Ethereal vocal samples mix with deftly manipulated breakbeats, orchestral stabs, exotic-sounding percussion and naked electronics to create a sonic landscape that's alternately frenetic and soothing, inviting and tumultuous. Over an hour in length, RING OF SATURN seems to stretch the traditional time barrier of EPs, but that's the way Goldie wants this recording to be percieved, not as a free-standing artistic statement, but as a bridge between his third and fourth albums. As such, it's entirely successful on its own terms.
