    Hi everyone. Sorry ive been absent. Few ups and downs recently.
    I was going to go for a classic album but this little gem came out a year ago and gave me hope that young people can put together some great original compositions that have some depth. Its a bit different with brass bands and Dubstep and great beats. Hope you like it. Thanks to Alex for bringing me back in the AOS family fold. Hope my link works.

    Hi Colin, I'm away at the moment, so unable to listen on Spotify, but I will check it out as soon as I get back home.

    In the meantime, thanks for posting it up, and hope life is a little kinder to you from now on - I always used to like the quote "life's a bitch, and then you die... or else you marry one" - but that's a bit crap really, isn't it?! I think these days I prefer "Life's what you make it" - so good luck to you matey.

    Cheers Alex. Big life shake up recently , lost my big listening room and back to student days sharing. Having fun tonight though with my Nepalese house mates.
    Nice cognac tonight, good movie and some organic Nepalese smoking mixture thats put a smile on my miserable scotch mush. Cheers everyone.

    I have had a listen to this today, and I think it is very good. Not too raucous and not too chilled, just right!

    I will have to get this, thanks for posting it Colin!

    I'm struggling with this a bit, but I like to give albums a fair chance so won't vote just yet.

    Had one listen last night quietly - I'll give it a louder spin this afternoon, but I thought it had potential last night - some very interesting drums and percussion in particular.
