Welcome to 'Skywriter', DatA's debut full length album. Often when you come down from a leak induced high (composed of an artist you love + obtaining hard to find goods), you meet the crash (several hours later) of realizing that the album is only so-so.
Either I haven't given the Skywriter a proper chance, or I jump too quickly to the next, newest artist. Either way, its not a good sign when you have to remind yourself to go back to a cd.
I would equate the album's lasting ability to Yuksek's debut album.
The singles, "One In a Million" and "Rapture" have been so thoroughly ingrained in my subconscious that I already skip over them when they come up (like Mind Dimension off Ciao!)
A lot of the album's charm is lost in the fact that I had heard half of it before it came out, but new tracks like "So Much in Love", "Nightmare", "Electric Fever" and "Skywriter" especially stand out to make the album worth holding onto.

I will also say that DatA can get some kick ass artwork for their material.
