I'm listening now to "More Wind for Lonely Suburbs". I like the interplay of simple melody and complex effects. I also like that the pieces are just the right length for their ideas--little ambient miniatures are always a joy.

I'll be reviewing your album for my blog soon. You might want to request to have yourself added to the connected artists of the following group: http://www.last.fm/group/under+100+listeners It's a great way to get more listeners here. I know a number of groups that promote unsigned/independent artists such as yourself. Let me know if you're interested. I'm also considering starting my own netlabel, as I believe that I could help promote unsigned artists who may not be as familiar as I am with how to go about promoting their music to those who would be interested. Again, please let me know if you might be interested in that as well.
