After listening to this album, thats the way I felt.
Blown away! I bought this album more on a whim than desire, but it has proven to be one of my most popular albums I have.
The beat is nice. Music ranges from laid back to full blown foot stomping gotta move groove. Certainly an enjoyable album.
I truly hope Williamson continues to release albums as good as this one in the future. Best of luck to him!!

5 out of 5 stars trust me, this is good........2004-08-24

I'm going to try very hard not to be pretentious, and still do a proper job of describing this music. It's complex, as in there are lots of layers and it's not very repetitious, but I promise your ears won't get tired. It's pretty, and there are phrases that provoke love, curiosity, and optimism; but it's also subtle, not manipulative. Favorite tracks include Raining at the Crescent House, Rubber, Time You'll Never Get Back, And Then it's All Gone, 2%er, and A Pleasent Goodbye..

This is good music, and I recommend that you buy the album.

5 out of 5 stars Soundtrack to my brain waves..........2004-03-12

I am glad I got to listen to this before we all (eventually) blow up. It makes me introspective and thinky without eliciting the dark downward spiral of retrospective recrimination. It is a wonderful soundtrack for writing, spooning, baking, driving, watching things grow and generally winking hopefully into the yawning maw of the uncertain future.

5 out of 5 stars Lush, like heroin and chocolate.......2004-02-13

Yeah, it's that good. Listen with heaphones. So intricate and so simple all at the same time. Beautiful guitar hooks, entrancing rhthyms.

5 out of 5 stars Drenched in gentleness.......2003-10-04

Flowing, tender, contemplative, the kind of music I'd like to hear while floating in a warm bubble bath. Williamson's mix of mellow electronica and spacey guitar is a fresh sound indeed, but somehow it feels comfortable like a favorite sweater. Loopy but never repetitive, the songs keep your attention while slowly morphing into different themes. I'd put this CD on the shelf next to Sugar Plant, Four Tet, Marumari, Sigur Ros, Transient Waves (in my recollection at least). I love how he lets you hear his fingers gliding along the guitar strings sometimes, while the electronic chorus gently slides from thought to thought. This is electronica, so to get the most of the carefully placed bleeps and blips that traipse around your ears, headphones recommended (though it stands up just fine over speakers as well, particularly when friends are over and conversation lulls to "hey, let's put something on the stereo").
