i really think it's worthy of an album of the month i really do. i think that's the problem with reviews, they can be very personal. i write them as a pointer, i really hope ppl realise that. at the end of the day, i just enjoy writing words about music i love. hope y'all see that ;)
It is nice, especially the production values making it great for in-car, and home listening, and I do generally like this kind of gear for chilling out, or adding a bit of sexiness to an evening (I did just recently play a house live pa in Brighton), so I`m not really knocking this release at all.

But if you listen to 10 random deep and tech house albums, and then 10 techno albums.
I`ll swing this one waaaaaay over to the house side of things.
Nothing wrong with that at all, but this ain`t really techno.
Made by a techno producer, yes, but it`s house all the way.
