Very high grade, big studio production.
Very lush sounding, which makes this enticing, but ultimately I don`t think this album separates itself from the sunkissed deep melodic house of the last 5-7 years.
I didn`t find much pointing to detroit, and found the melodies fairly predictable, using fairly standard (admittedly sexy) scales.
Terry Lee Brown Jr has been doing this kinda stuff for years and years (and I would say, just a little less cheesily), As did the circulation boys. Whatever happened to Circulation?
There`s some great tech/deep/progressive house out there. And always has been, with, yes, melodies and chords.
Still a lovely album for a sunrise drive home post gig, or maybe for a morning shag on the beach.

Is this even a techno album?
It`s certainly a reasonably good deep (slightly cheesy) house album.
I might buy it for playing in the garden when drinking wine with the missus.
