"Latin-american-born Swedish producer Alexi Delano (here operating as ADNY) provides a near-flawless array of his music from 1997 to 2000. This collection consists mainly of his own compositions, but also includes a couple reworkings of pieces by the likes of colleague Lekebusch, and DKMA. The album ranges from the warm tones and smooth vocals of "Shiver Me," the jazziness of "What if I Love?," the haunting loneliness of "Never Leave You," to the soundscapes of "Desierto de Atacama" and "Street Player." All pieces are infused with latin rhythmic sensibilities, balanced with jazz and lounge-oriented flavors. Delano boasts the skill of producing deep house music that is appropriate for both relaxed listening, and for the after-hours dancefloor. Those both familiar and unfamiliar with his work will not be disappointed."
