A nice reassurance that 2014 may be an even more musically enjoyable year than 2013 was. I hope you don't mind I took the liberty of uploading a couple of tracks to one of my YouTube accounts. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChcK_q ... P1Q/videos
Cheers buddy, and upload away, they're free after all. Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I was eating cookie dough while listening to this album.

I now associate your music with the taste of cookie dough.

Sublime from start to finish my friend, though I'd have to say "All the Clouds," "Sunsets on Skyscrapers," and "Geodesic" are my current favorites, along with the title track. Your compositions are endlessly fascinating--I find something new every time I listen... loads of fun! I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the Sparkwood Records rabbit-hole, and loving every listen. I'm definitely going to have to pick up a proper CD of "Limerence," and am eagerly awaiting a new Above, Convenience Store! release.
Also, check this out, I think its right up your alley...

Cheers for the kind words man, and the recommendations. Loving your stuff also. Was gonna recommend A,CS 'til I spotted you had actually mentioned them. Might be good idea to get in touch with Sparkwood yourself ;)

I'm surprised I never gave word on this album, I thought I did. Anyway, I was real impressed by this album quite a bit. Your mixes have improved significantly since the ep. This is especially true in Idaho Transfer and Geodesic. The percussive textures compliment the pads very well, and they don't sit too heavily in the mix. The drums in Geodesic actually remind me a lot of the drums in Peacock Tail just because of the dynamics and the contrast of the sounds between the drums and the chords. I know Peacock Tail had guitars, but I'm sure you see what I'm getting at. My only complaint with this album is that I feel like these tracks could all be beefed up on the low end as they do feel sorta empty. But that's not necessarily a bad thing either. The mixes are good despite them feeling empty. But this is just my opinion. It's still a really nice album, and I think the next thing you put out is going to be even better. You're building your own unique sound, so I'd like to see where you take that in future releases.

Cheers Alex, appreciate the kind words and advice. You know me well enough, and you know I've a lot to learn. Having been making tunes for about a year and a half. And you have been a big help of course, as have many of you guys here on Twoism. So, appreciate it very much guys. Glad ye like the album, I still have a long way to go, but having fun getting there ;)

Cheers RJ, I didn't know you were involved with Netlabilsm til we spoke on Facebook. Chuffed with the review, the site is great also. Simon is a real nice lad.

what a great album from start to finish.

it took a few listens for me to really begin to appreciate it. but now that it has sunk in, i am really impressed.

at first the main tracks that stuck out were "sunsets on skyscrapers" and "limerence". but then all the tracks began to really take shape, and each time i listen to the album i enjoy it more.


i just wanted to thank you for putting the time and effort into your music.

Apologies for bumping this thread first of all (I seen the banner and decided to have a peek as it's been a while), but thanks very much man. Really appreciated. And thank you for taking the time to listen and the kind words!

Same goes to all you guys, sorry if I haven't responded to each of you, but all feedback and compliments are greatly appreciated! Cheers again! I didn't expect such a positive response to be honest. You guys..... ;)
