I appreciate the vote of confidence, Tristen. It’s rarely fun to give a less than positive review knowing it’s someone’s hard work and effort, but I do it knowing it could provide perspective the artists do not have while making the tunes.

Hearing what you are capable of on your first time out assures me you are a producer worth checking. Watch this space!

To me this review is a little bit hard to read (as I am the producer). But stop hating that kind of people which are more independent about music-reviews than a lot of paper magazine journalists. so, keep up the good work LWE.

Considering your tenuous grasp of English grammar, jonhnie, I’d suggest you check yourself before trashing a writer for not agreeing with you.

@jonhnie W

You are writing as if I had completely trashed the record when I said it was decent. My job is not to boost producers’ self-esteem but to critically evaluate their work, which is what I’ve done here.

The reviewer approached this record from a critical standpoint with which you can agree or disagree. Lobbing insults at him isn’t going to change his position or anyone else’s.

I think this is one of the better records this month. Compared to all the other shit coming out recently…
I’d say, this record stands out.
Love Tristen’s minimal but yet deep groove. It is reduced to the core essence of a good deep house tune. I can picture myself spinning it closer to prime than Anton actually does.
Personally I have so much love for the label. They are releasing very good deep music with beautiful artworks.
I almost own every release.

Keep the good work up!

I like parts of this record a lot more than others. The “Along These Strings” drum loop sounds a bit too close to Moodymann’s “I Can’t Kick This Feeling” for my tastes. The strings are nice but not enough to sustain it, especially when it’s nearly 10 minutes long. I see potential…

Edward’s “Calm” just doesn’t approach his best work, it’s too simple. I like that it’s adjacent to stuff from Rozzo, but he doesn’t quite take it there.
