Hello Robert! this is a good album, that you have released there. Up front I'd like to get the more unwelcome part of my e-mail out of the way in saying, that this is not my cup of tea, mostly. I do like "what makes you believe", the rest just doesn't really talk to me musically. that said, it is a fantastic production! It's clear and clean and has punch. Everything is transparent. As far as I am concerned the only criticism could be in the real of preferences and idiological approaches to production. I love the drumkit. Even I wouldn't have tortured the snare drum further to achieve a sound completely to my liking. It all fits together so neatly! If I said, that you could put this on a radiostation and no one would notice, would you understand this as a compliment in terms of production and playing? It would be meant as such. It's good to hear, that you don't neglect your own language. I always like hearing perfectly ordinary and global genres of music with lyrics in languages other than English and German. Musically I must say, that you have a good and versatile voice. It is you singing? I'm pretty sure, but... :-) The slight distortion on the vocals in "Been to the Gates" really helps the song along. Though as such processing goes, I think it's rather subtle. It almost gives it a sixties feel in the voice, not in the music. This raw edge, this crackle in the voice. As I said, both musically and in terms of production, it is very well performed. straight forward and spot on! Perhaps it's good for us, that you are unknown, because I've heard people making a nice bit of money with approximately similar music. that way we can all enjoy it for free and share it around, pass the links on.
