can't wait for this album.

sound like massive attack on acid! big

love it . Spinning Channels

Good review! Will check it out.

The guy is obviously very talented, but this is just painfully mediocre and instantly forgettable. Except for a couple of tracks (Descend, Psyche Inquiry, first 2 minutes or so of Firewall), the entire album sounds like one long, boring interlude. Doubly disappointing considering how insanely good his first couple of EPs were. 2/5.

Also, this doesn't really apply to Blue Daisy, but a few tracks on this LP really made me wish the new wave of producers would ease up on the unnecessary use of excessive reverb. It's basically turned into a cheap gimmick now, especially in the more indie/pop side of electronic music.

this record is really great. he'll only get better.

looking forward to his next...

I for one consider this one of the best albums ever, I wasn't a fan of blue daisy when I first heard him and wrote off several of his EPs as incredibly average, being the dedicated music-lover I am though, I went back to them after a few months and noticed the extreme depth to his music. The album only added to this view, it's a serious headspace album that you need to be, in short, smart to fully appreciate. 9/10 for me!

Yep, I love this.

3.5? This is a serious contender for album of the year! I absolutely love how 90's it sounds. I guess when you get to be a certain age, you start to long for the sounds that you grew up on. I love new music, but for me, electronic music was in it's prime in the 90's. Underworld, Chemical Brothers, Tricky, Massive Attack, Fat Boy Slim, 90's house and techno, jungle, early Warp stuff... Hip-hop was at it's best, and rock would never be as good again.

To me, this album symbolizes all of that. It is vast, it is expansive, it has depth that requires multiple listens and above all it takes it's cues from an era that often gets overlooked by anyone who didn't come into musical age in that one brief synapse in time when everything came together perfectly.

The Sunday Gift is Big Beat. It is Hip-hop. It is Trip-Hop. It is Grunge. It is Stoner Metal. It is Psych Rock. It is House. It is blissful electronics that come together in a beautiful soundscape. In short, it is close to perfection.

0/5

@rezerekted23 here here!

Never heard of this artist till this album, this sounds excellent. Truly Interesting concoctions...and a serious talent for sure.

Agreed @ Rezerkted23. I imagine its difficult to make something experimental like this, yet have song structure to it, and a strong musical feel. So you have this heavy experimental side, yet its balanced by this welcoming musical touch. Great production values, eclectic range, and sound design....songs.

4.5/5 +new fan

This is top 3 in my book for 2011 so far. This picks up the torch from Massive Attack and runs with it.
Im not sure how the reviewer came up with 3.5/5 - tough grader, Id like to hear some of his 4.5 reviews
