"I just rediscovered my love for this record, and can't tout it enough. Luomo delivers an album full of soul and sophisticate - his recipe combines the delicious flavors of deep and micro house to create one delightful dish. The result: sheer enjoyment for the ears and the libido. Keep an an eye out for the rerelease of Vocalcity as well - another fabulous record."

Lush, chill, and fun.

"As a fan of Vladislav Delay, I was interested to check out his work as Luomo. For a few minutes, I almost didn't believe it was the same composer - it's so vastly different than what I'm used to hearing from VD. After a few tracks, it became more and more apparent: under the glossy production and lovely vocals, I could hear his unique compositional elements poking through. It's like Naked Music meets weird experimental electronic music. It's thoroughly catchy, but with substance.



Overall, this is a very lush album - great for just relaxing. If you're a fan of that Naked Music/Hed Kandi style of female vocals with a laid back vibe, you need this album. It gives the same effect, but there's a lot more going on musically than with some of those one-off deep house artists. Check it out."

"This is a very slick, subtle and sensual record, right to the last track. The sounds are MUCH more impressive than the artwork..."
