Music by a technician?

Njal Frode Lie presents himself as a Producer and Technician rather than a musician or dj, yet this album reveals much more about him. He shows a grasp of musical styles far beyond that of a technician.

Unlike many chillout albums by one artist that tend to have a consistent style or theme throughout that relegates them to being suitable for background listening only, each song here has a unique style and feel. From the the dreamy vocal ululations of "Follow That Dream", through the acoustic sounding "Guitar Conversations", and on to the borderline electronica of "Follow Me" each song stands on it's own as both listenable and distinct from the others.

This is the albums strength and it's weakness. If you are looking for a mellow album to listen to as music, this is perfect for you. However as pure chillout or lounge background music this album will call attention to itself due to the changes in intensity and style. For example the passion of "I Am Back" demands your attention.

Personally I love this album and can listen to it over and over due to the variety contained within.
