These reviews just in (swedish)

Alpha 3 has been available for precisely one month and one day. I've gotten cheers, sales (but not that many) and three swedish reviews (that I know of) - and I am happy to see that they all contain interesting reactions on part of the reviewers.


Firstly, I got a fine review in Tidningen Kulturen. That article can be read here. Also the regional paper Värmlands Folkblad had a short but sweet text likening my work to that of Digital Mysticz, Third Eye Foundation and James Blake. VF thinks my work is: "in the twilight between ambient and bleak dubstep" and TK thinks I reminence the danish avant-pop act Choir of young believers. I feel honored.

Last but not least, my friend Daniel Kristiansson wrote down his impressions on his blog, in a piece I am also happy to link here.

This far I haven't gotten any english speaking reviews, but I've gotten positive reinforcement on behalf of listeners, and a few from my fellow producers. Of course, if you are a reviewer - do not hesitate to contact me. And if you haven't, feel free to listen and perhaps buy yourself a copy of Alpha 3, and tell me regardless what it makes you feel.

James Blake is Overgrown

I am struck by James Blake's second album. It is out of this world.  It has generated two singles, Overgrown and Retrograde, which I cannot align properly in this blog. But click on the titles and you will be able to see them both. But I can share the track Digital Lion, which is a collaboration between Blake and ambient-legend Brian Eno.

James Blake interprets Joni Mitchell

The young brittish artist James Blake has just released his first album. Something which you ought to check out. He has also performed live for BBC Radio 1, with this expressive cover. Something which fits perfectly into my current mood and therefore for this blog. So with no further ado, let "A case of you" take you on a journey.
