hairy - I thank you kind Sir, and hope that the Christmas will be especially nice to you.

Must say though, that I'm not as impressed with the album, as I thought I would be. The slow parts reminds me of Antony Hegarty, and are not really doing a lot for me, but I'm sure the album will receive very positive album reviews.

Thanks again hairy!

Cheers.

Got a LOT of hype around him at the moment, seems he's been plucked to be the new radio darling from an alternative genre for the coming year. Definitely interested to hear the album though, he's certainly got something interesting about him.

Struggling to send it MF as the file size has doubled. Anyone know of an ftp which you can upload 200MB files to for free?

Could you not send in two or three parts?

Anyway, what does everyone reckon to the album?

Personally they can hype it up all they want, if it gives the album more exposure then that's a good thing in my opinion. At the end of the day good music is good music and I think this is a great album.

Listened to the first half on the way to work. You can really see how the sound on this album has evolved out of his earlier EP's. Limit To Your Love is still the standout track so far but the rest is so fresh and at times pretty stunning. Thanks again, hairy.
