"The missing link between Nirvana and Fischerspooner - a cocaine psychosis classic"

"Like Syd Barrett fronting Queens Of The Stone Age...surefooted, inventive and buzzing with surprises"

5.0 out of 5 stars Laid Back Masterpiece, April 2, 2006

This album was being piped in over the speakers at a local music store I was shopping in a while back. By song eight I was completely converted. Few albums grab me as quickly as this one did. It's a laid back album with great instrumentation and programming. Is it electronic? Sure. But don't let that scare you away. Good songwriting transcends any style or format. I can safely recommend this album to anyone even if they aren't into keyboard base music as I am.

Nathan Whitey wrote every song on the album and played almost every instrument as well outside of a few drum parts. It's a lush, creative and suprising disc that reminds me of other artists while still staying original and fresh. You can get this album far cheaper locally, I have no idea why Amazon has this for such an expensive price.

For listeners who consistently feel that indie artists are almost, but not quite, pleasant to actually listen to, "Whitey" is your man. He pulls it off in an astonishing debut - combining the artistic mystique and fresh sound of indie art with nice arrangements and compositions. There is no frustration at a compromise of one or the other. It's pure bliss and by the third play you'll find it's an instant classic.
