OK, the title of the review is a bit Sunday paper pretentious, but stick with me!
This album is an absolute delight from start to finish. Beautifully produced with some really subtle touches in the mix, the mood changes from optimistic to contentment, from pensive to one of considered reflection. The tunes themselves ~ no vocals to interrupt the flow ~ are memorable and catchy without being repetitive and help you enjoy a real journey throughout the CD. 'Chill' does not do this superb collection justice ~ I often find that with some other chill/ambient/down tempo selections, there can be a feeling of hollowness and lack of thought as to how the listener is kept engaged from the moment the needle drops until the end. Not so here: Get on the train and take the ride to the end and then if you are hooked like me, press the 'replay/loop' button. Enjoy!

Tom Middleton is an incredible producer, his work as global communication remains one of my most treasured albums.
My first taste of his new material was during a beautiful mid-afternoon slot at the big chill festival 2006 performning tracks from his then Ambr project. The tack moonbathing which features on this album was a stand out on that whole weekend.
The Style on lifttracks is depth with out to much fuss and drama, you wont find screaming diva vocals or soring melodies just stealthy beats that move you in an unsuspecting way. The idea is that each tune is built off a memmory in Toms life, but interstingly gives us a soundtrack to repersent our own memmories from.
Worth A buy for moonbathing alone!

I am a big fan of Tom Middleton mainly through his work with Mark Pritchard as Global Communication. BUT in my eyes he has been wasting his talent somewhat by DJing and making electronic music which is moulded for dance clubs and the Ibitha scene, having said that he is on the top of ladder as a club dj and remixer, it is obviously his passion nowadays and fair play to him for doing what he loves.
I always buy his albums as there is usually one or two pieces of genius that pop up as I plough through the ibitha mud pit! No offence to Tom but I don't really get anything from this type of stuff.
I had high hopes from this album as it had been promoted as "Deep electronic music full of emotion". One thing Tom does better then anyone if his mind is on it is make deep electronic music, and that really is my thing.
And this is back to top form for Tom he has made a very good album that is a mixture of all the things he does, In my opinion it is more the vibe of a chilled out ibitha album BUT to label it as just that would be very unfair as there is some very good tracks such as beginning of the middle,sea of glass,yearning, St Ives Bay and the stand out Margherita which despite the title is very Global Communication sounding.
I have no doubt Tom will now go back to clubs to dj,party and make albums suited to the club scene, but I hope every so often he comes back to doing deep emotional electronic music and if he asks Mark Pritchard to pop round, even better ;)

Disappointing. The best track on the CD is the first ('Prana'), the best part of which is the first phrase - so your attention is grabbed from the start. Read more

It's not comparable to Global Communications it has a broader palette but after listening to it and off over the past 24 hours, I really do recommend it, if this genre or (any)... Read more
