Essential Chillout

"Beauty cannot begin to describe this album. It's the kind of album that makes you want to lay around, but at the same time it can make you want to get busy. Maria Christopher adds so much to this album. Her sensual yet realistically beautiful vocals make the cd, but without them, it would retain it's beauty. Not to say it would be better without them. Easy Trigger is a kind of song you would hear walking into a smoke filled club as you see your soul-mate at the bar. The Lone Mariachi holds a sense of funkiness, along with a playful modern Spanish bassline. Those are two of my favorite tracks, but the album is all in all one of the best purchases I've made in the indie rock/shoegazing category. Even if you're not into indie or shoegazing, this album will blow your mind."
This is in my top ten all time favourite records

"this album is great for anyone that likes chill music with female vocals. this is definitely one of the sexiest albums ever recorded, up there whith lovage's "music to make love to your old lady by". fans of portishead, mogwai, papa m, will oldham, ISIS, gy!be, sigur ros (or any melancholy music,really) will eat this up. great brook valley is my favourite track, with the neil young cover, danger bird, coming in second."
