Heavy Rotation

First of, condolences on your loss, that must be difficult and it is very kind of you to make this dedication to your mother.

This is a great album you have made here Dan, it is dreamlike without being too slow or repetitive and i think you have used a lot of electronica sounds without going too beat heavy which seems a common mistake these days- you have made good progress in the style.

I have all your albums to date and this captures an essence of both my favourites (Edge of the World Party and Scottish Watercolours). It has the lively and almost childlike synthpop of the former and the heavy atmosphere and lucid ambience of the latter.

I have played the album a few times over while doing some writing and you have captured one of those few great musical niches which works both to relax the listener and to inspire them simultaneously (a style of music i am always searching for).

I don't know how much of a thorough review you want so i won't go into much more detail over than to say that each of the tracks is necessary and each bring something original to the feel of the overall piece.

I am unsure of my favourite song but i think Demographic may be it- i am awe of it's almost lachrymose overtones.

A lot of the music feels like it belongs in a video game (that i meant to be complimentary), i am wondering if that was purposeful? Carnivale especially reminds me of the Metroid games.

I hope that critique in some way sheds light on how i feel about the album. In short, well done.
