One of my favourite albums so far this year, had it for a month or so and thought I
would share my comments here.
I'm really impressed after a good few listens, it combines top prog house tracks with breaks and chillout. I only recently discovered Tim Davison though Jay Lumen's remix of Spark on Elements 002, but I'm really glad to have found this album - definitely well worth checking out if your into pro/electro house.
Standout tracks:
To be honest it's hard to pick favourites as every track is very strong and there's so much variety on offer, but here goes:
SU242 - Love this one, vocal-driven breakbeat that really hits the right notes.
Headlights in the Clouds - A more relaxed piano driven chilled track - brilliant pads and melodies
Brass Monkeys - A bit Andy Moor-esque this one - loving the bassline here
Beckoning Silence - Great end to the album; crackly break beats, with vocal samples and piano melodies that wouldn't sound out of place on a Way Out West album.

Overall a really decent debut album, kind of reminds me a little of Eelke Kleijn's 'Naturally Artificial' from last year, which had a similarly diverse array of styles.
I would rate it 4/5
