Not the sort of stuff I generally listen too, but this is SO different to anything else I've heard that it warrants a great review. Especially love your guitar sounds, which are both clean and fat sounding (kinda reminds me of The Shadows) - what sort of amp set up do you use? Tape loops and synth effects add some nice touches too (is there a Roland Juno in there somewhere?)
Can't work out whether the drums are real or programmed, maybe a mixture of the two.
Anyway, a great listen...
Sounds like our former singer! An enjoyable listen. Good old fashioned indie rock, no pretentions. Nice , mellow, analog sounding recording. Loads of bands sound like this, but it's a competent effort all the same. Good luck guys!

I like the references to Shine On You Crazy Diamond on the first track. Very live sounding too. Some wicked drums. Hints of tubular bells on second track. Perhaps not the most instantly poppy of music, but a great mix of sounds , textures and particular the mix of live and electronic sounds.
Sort of Floyd meets Jean-Michael Jarre! Love It!
Some great oldskool-style techno here, takes me back a few years. Better dynamics than some other tracks in this genre, and the tracks go well together as an album too. Best dance stuff I've come across on Jamendo yet.

Some great oldskool acid stuff here! Good balance of sounds and EQ - pro sounding if not entirely contemporary. Some good digital synth metallic sounds. Nice use of distortion, imaginative drum programming. All great fun!

I love this style of dance, plenty of exciting digital sounds and vocoder-style effects, some great drum programming. Would go down well after several cans of special brew and a few grammes of speed!

Mellow and enjoyable. Greenfields was particularly nice. Dynamic guitaring and vocals, add interest to the track when there's only one instrument. Good, simple mix.
good Luck

Smooth, well produced, great smoking music in the St Etienne vain...... Takes me back to the earlier (and better) dance music era!

Imaginative orchestration, great singer, strong songs, plenty of variety too. A lot like muse and the divine comedy. Prog rock dragged kicking and screaming into the new millenium. Well done.

This is extremely funky , with real sounding instruments, sort of early Dr Dre stuff. The scratching is particularly good. I like the track about weed (the second) .
