4 out of 5 stars Keep on playing it!.......2004-01-22

After listening to the free download, I immediately purchased this as the sound is just what I am looking for, rough beats but mellow enough to relax to. This is ideal pre-club, post-club, dinner party, and car driving material. I hate the term chill-out, but this is something you would chill-out to.

The sounds are something you would expect on the 'Cafe del Mar' or Hed Kandi 'Served Chilled' compilations, but these tracks don't become bland or uninteresting pieces of 'muzak' on repeated listens, for this very reason I highly recommend this.

For something this fresh, it's a steal.

OK, so I'll admit I'm a sucker for strings, and for a variety of chill sub-genres. But that doesn't mean that you can just throw the two together and make it worth something other than nice aural wallpaper.

This EP works so well because there's enough substance behind the dreamy washes of minor key strings to keep you interested without breaking the mood. Repeated listenings (and the music just asks to be re-played) reveal the thought that's gone into the layers here.

This is an excellent late night listen. I look forward to an album!

5 out of 5 stars Smooth, chilled out grooves with strings-a-plenty..........2003-12-16

With Strings Attached, is a pretty apt description for this CD. For any fans of downtempo beats with a deluge of strings, this CD comes highly recommended. It is sublime, intoxicating, melodic and beautiful.

With Strings Attached is mainly instrumental but contains an interesting mix of elements all underpinned by a copious amount of 'STRINGS'. Devushka (Beautiful) is my personal favourite. It begins with an orchestral tuning session before a moving string introduction and a sweet percussive beat kick in. This is all overlayed with a soulful female vocal sample. There is a wonderful climax to this track with live saxaphone, and the blissfully chilled out sounds of waves crashing against the beach - all good and there are still four more tracks after this. Apparently it was written in 1999, but released in 2003 - let's just hope it doesn't take four years for the album to appear!

I would say, JUST BUY IT!

5 out of 5 stars Soothing with an attitude!!.......2003-12-16

The debut EP from this artist whose sounds are absolutely first rate. I have been a big fan of the downtempo music scene for a few years and found this collection of tracks mellowing and uplifting - beautiful string arrangements injected with a bit of an attitude!

Simply brilliant - can't wait for more...
