ojdo I was caught off guard by the opening track while listening to Soma FM radio. When the original track idea suddenly shifts into Another Fine Day's "mood", I could not help myself but to grin. From zero to fan in under two minutes - not bad I would say. Favorite track: Scarborough Fair.

Hillsman OK - I've been into electronic music for 25+ yrs and my collection of albums and mix compilations is 1500+ - ALL electronica. Ambient and Ambient House & Techno are probably my 2 favorite genres. So how on earth had I NOT heard of Tom Green (Another Fine Day) before a few weeks?! And it was only via an Orb Fan Group that I found out about him. 3 albums of absolute class, with Salvage my favorite so far! How do I pick one track? I simply love this album. Thank you Tom. Favorite track: Cutting Branches.

Richard Foreman Have dearly loved this album since I bought it on CD back in the day. Buying it again now for the 4 extra tracks!

reviews-

”Green creates a lovely and inviting sheen…even the traditional Shona piece “Cutting Branches” sounds likes it took a left turn into a Parisian cafe in space.”US BILLBOARD 26/8/00

“…before playing this lighter-than-air disc, you’d be well advised to nail your speakers to the floor.” US JAZZ TIMES 2/01

“An essential release for any fan of downtempo, chill-out, or global contemplation” WAX 3/01

“…a gorgeously chilled collection of well-earthed tracks…It’s like shopping organic in the supermarket, you get used to it ‘cos you know it’s good for you” DJ magazine 2/6/01

“…pure English summer, Big Chill, Enchanted Garden music…unique, interesting, and great for Sundays.” MUZIK 7/01

This album livens my mix of tracks without getting too busy, it's a nice compliment. I'll also throw a shout out for the track Falling In, from Dreaming Into Being, by Bluetech. One of my all time favorite tracks. It's not in my bandcamp collection, I got on iTunes yrs ago before dumping that. So good though I had to mention. image3
