Summary: SUPERB WORK OF ART!
Comment: One of my favorite records, regardless of genre. And a True Work Of Art. Just Glorious!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Music with an all-leather interior.
Comment: If this CD were an automobile, it would be an sleek, supercharged luxury car that would be invisible if not for the streetlights reflecting in its glossy, glossy paint.
I had to move and leave almost all of my 1,000+ CDs in storage, and having this CD 2,500 miles away is driving me crazy. I don't want to buy it again... In the samples provided here, "Sunrain" and "Journey Inwards" are transposed, as are "Our World" and "Close To The Source," I believe. Watercolours is the only track I skip.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A true masterpiece, and anything but boring...
Comment: ...unless you are a hard-core dnb head, and have not matured at least a little.
This is desert island/living/bedroom bliss.
Disc 1 is worth the total price alone, and Disc 2 is almost.
This is not "Drum and Bass" or "Jungle" per se. It is, as the title so clearly states, a 'journey inwards' by one of the founding fathers of the aforementioned genre/s.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: A solid effort
Comment: LTJ Bukem moves away a bit from pure drum and bass but presents a well composed album. While disk #2 had me feeling a bit empty, disk #1 is true electronic combined with elemental jazz, upbeat bass as well as downtempo lounge.
I hesitated giving this album 5 stars dues to the lackluster of disk 2, but disk 1 on its own is quite the listening experinece.(4.5 stars)

Summary: BOOOOOOOOOORING
Comment: LTJ Bukem is certainly one of the most important DnB-DJ's. He opened the genre to ambient, Funk, Jazz etc and there are few DJ's which have influenced DnB more than him. Without Bukem, and without Good Looking Records, DnB would not be what it is today.
Let me remind you, this is the man who created Logical Progression (certainly one of the most influential DnB albums), Progression Sessions with the wonderful MC Conrad, and Earth (which anyone in electronical music knows and loves).
Unfortunetaly, I must say that Journey Inwards just shows what I was afraid of: with the beginning of the new century, the time of the LTJ is over.
Some claim "Journey Inwards" is a logical continuation of 70's Funk, Jazz and Fusion, and that it really is "intelligent". My opinion is that it is neither funky nor jazzy nor is it DnB. Do you know these Yoga or meditation CD's you sometimes here when you are shopping? That's how this album sounds. It is totally uninspired, it is really really boring, and it never comes to a point. Its just like this man is out of ideas.
Most songs are over 7 minutes long, and you only hear some mystical sounds (again - meditation) for 2 or 3 minutes. Nothing else, no drums, no bass. And almost every song starts like that. So close your eyes, and imagine you are a tree...
I would say, Bukem has made his contributions, but his style is exhausted - there is nowhere to go with it anymore. What can you do as a music fan? Here are some tips:
Either buy all the old stuff by Bukem, or go back to 60's and 70's real Jazz, Funk or Fusion. And if you want to listen to some new very good (say 2003 and later) - and indeed quite intelligent DnB-albums, which are more "up-to-date" - then go to DJ Marky, Zinc, London Electricity or High Contrast. Thats the "intelligent" DnB of the new century.

Editorial Reviews:

Though he was once on top of the drum & bass heap, in recent years LTJ Bukem, king of ambient drum & bass, has been pushed aside in favor of hard and dark tech-step. Fame came easily to Bukem, who with his labels Looking Good and Good Looking spearheaded the movement of intelligent drum & bass with the release of the Logical Progression series, quickly cementing his place in the short history of urban breakbeat. Journey Inwards marks his long-awaited return and attempt to reclaim his throne in the fickle drum & bass community. True to form, Bukem turns in a two-disc set of songs heavy on the reverb, caressed by light lyrics and sweet singing throughout. Horns and synths are as integral--if not more important than--bass lines, and often the bass takes a backseat to the music's melodic enterprises. Jazz peeks its head in a few places, particularly when Bukem slows the tempo, as in "Sunrain," cuing up the old suspicions that Bukem creates adult contemporary jungle. Not concerned with rocking the joint, Bukem instead lulls slowly to sleep or seduces his admirers. Whether he's playing with scattershot drums or mellow-yellow downtempo, Bukem manipulates the mood as deftly as he chops a beat. --Tricia Romano
