When looking for albums to relax with, I try and find lush rich sounds. I think Meme hits my sweet spot with very textured songs, which may be overproduced for some (like my wife). However the album rolls smoothly from one track to the next displaying a continuity many albums today lack. For what it's worth, I find myself listening to this album at work and when driving at night. The mood matches mine during those times very well.

Whispering electronics like feathers made out of electricity, kissing my skin, milosh's voice like warm dust blown along by wind, in the summer everyone's at the seaside, alone in the city, a duster singing, a sweet soft duster singing of love and regret and tears imprisoned in sidewalk paintings, like staring at a tiny speck until it becomes a world of it's own to stay in for a while, where secrets live freely. Married women becoming girls, married women becoming people, sleeping on the asphalt, forever falling inward backward, into self, like stepping off a ledge. It's strange how middle of summer can feel like autumn. Oh milosh.

I enjoyed Milosh's first album, but it didn't completely blow me away. With Meme, though, he's made his first real masterpiece. Using his breakup with his girlfriend as a starting point, he gets into all the post-breakup issues all guys experience, from lust and casual sex to guilt and loneliness. Ladies, if you want to see how the male mind works after you break our hearts, pick this one up. Subtle and beautiful, this will definitely make my year-end top 10. One to watch!

Wow. So I think I've listened to this album 5 times in a row upon buying it. It's a masterpiece from start to finish. Somewhere between Coldplay and Massive Attack is Milosh...the one man band. I see that he wrote, sang, produced and recorded everything himself and read that he's Imogen Heap's favorite artist. He's now my favorite too ! Thanks Milosh !!

I'm surprised this guy isn't writing and producing for others...maybe he doesn't want to. I read in an interview that he's Imogen Heap's favorite artist. He's really got a way with words and melodies. The production is downtempo making it an easy listen at any time. His voice is unique but somewhere between Tricky and Chris Martin. 9.5/10.

I ordered this CD based on the song "The City" which I heard on youtube. I was quite disappointed to find that most of the songs on this CD are not only highly repetetive, but contain distracting snare/drum beats that overwhelm the melodic background tones. I definitely agree with Mr. Hernandez's review that it does seem like the album has a divided essence to it, and feel like the CD would've actually been better if they removed the faster-paced drum beats that make it difficult to mellow out to the tracks.

Milosh's voice can be very mellow and the topics he sings about can be inviting and fairly personal in nature. However, the majority of the songs on this album have a fairly electronic beat to them that tends to take away from the otherwise intimate feel that this album would have. It almost feels as if it is an album with a divided soul: it would have been an excellent electronic instrumental or, with a guitar, perhaps a nice folk production too. But it doesn't combine to the two in a way that feels particularly touching or groovy simultaneously. I will give it four stars because I really like his voice and his approach, but there's still more to be done here.
