James' most consistent work, I Care Because You Do fuses his earlier hardcore techno days with the smooth rhythm and atmosphere of his ambient work, often on the same song. "Ventolin" is one of the harshest singles ever recorded; the orchestrated closer "Next Heap With" is the highlight of the album. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
Beautiful and nearly perfect album. Easily a favorite and must have for any electronica fan. The album opens with a nice, good song that sums up the album, with a very similar sound, and influences from all the songs (and a tone in the background, like Ventolin). Tracks 5,6, and 7 take you on a journey through RDJ's hardcore techno abilities, track 6 being the low point in the album. Tracks 7-11 are the best songs on the album. A fusion of acid and ambient, this album is very unique and genius.
