The EP was produced by Geoff Pinckney (of Tenek) and mixed by Geoff and Jon Costello. Martin Bowes did the final mastering ... I already could listen to one song via the 'Cultural differences vol 1' bandcamp page and now there is the complete EP. I already loved the sound, and the nice minimal wave of a song like 'Tell me now' just confirms all that good! The song is nice, catchy, dreamy and very vulnerable... I love the melancholic sound! 'Artist Architect' is more a robotic sound, closer to Kraftwerk, but potentially a dance floor hit as the beats are high enough to get you going. It's really a great composition! I can refer you to the review underneath if you want to know how much I love 'Cities in Question'... The last song, 'Nothing', has a more harsh sound and fits perfectly for a party! A great song that keeps my attention!
I'm really lucky that I run into this one! Retro lovers simply have to listen to it, but I’m pretty sure that a lot of people will simply love it too …
