Comment: DJ Torby provides mostly phlegmatic downtempo-esque and New Age-soaked rhythms accentuated with lonely piano chords, smooth jazz-y whiffs and scant bass drum-based slaps. However, these elements do corkscrew against the upper layers of compositions which used to be shimmering and sheeny ones thereby providing the welcome counterbalance to it. Of course, there are represented some exceptions either. At Sleep In My Arms are catchy but gloomy synth layers mixed up with majestic bells therefore sounding quite close to some borderline post-rock combos. Beach Walker is a house-inspired notch bringing incessantly forth uplifting milieus and dreamy associations throughout. At Let Me Feel Your Fantasy is all about a catchy electro-disco hook.
