Here is some info from the BFW page:

You had me at MBV.

yay :D

Had a listen. If you sold this for real money I'd buy it.

More Slowdive than MBV really (Never heard of Air Formation so I can't tell about that.)

Only a couple complaints.
At some parts the guitars were wishy-washy and not defined enough, a lot of muffled sounds and such. The great thing about MBV is that everything blended but you could still pick out many instruments precisely.

I like it very much though, so if you're thinking about doing another album in this style GO FOR IT! More vocals or more "different" chord progressions / dynamics would be nice since I found myself drifting off a little on a couple songs. Keeping the listener on their toes is a good thing, even for space-out music.

Thank you for the nice little review. You make some great points here. I'm not sure why I put My Bloody Valentine first, as it is more slowdive style.

I did originally plan on putting in more vocals. The only problem is I'm not much of a singer or lyricist, but I'm working on it. I'm definitely going to delve into the genre more and more. This was my first serious attempt.

The mixing/mastering could be better. MBV spent 2 years in the studio working on Loveless, so I guess it just takes time to nail down their sound ;)

Again, thanks for listening :)

Good.

Listened to the whole thing and thought it was pretty damn good. I don't listen to MBV or stuff like that. The only really shoegaze music I have is The Brain Jonestown Massacre's new LP 'Who killed Sgt. Pepper?'. But I have to say you put some pretty relaxing tracks down on this one and I'll be downloading it on the 26th for sure.

I haven't in really listened 'in-detail' but I've had it on loop for a couple of times while doing other things. I love the chill style of the thing, I never got annoyed of it.

Really enjoyable, and can't wait to download it the 26th.
