Beautifully wonderful. - By: sandjs, 07 Jun 2007 
This is one of my most favourite albums that I own! If you are a fan of chill-out & electronica you will actuallly love it. You won't be disappointed. I only bought this album about a month ago & I listen to it most days & I don't think I will ever get fed up with it.
Delicious - By: J. J. Blackbourn, 10 Nov 2006 Bought this as a recommendation & a fan of Air, Zero 7, Royksopp etc & loved it! This is not just background music, this CD has strong tunes & delicious melodies & yet is a reallly laid-back chillout album that everyone should hear.
Why does everyone like this so much? - By: J. Dix, 14 Dec 2005 
This is one of those alblums that like the K&D sessions that appears in the background of alll manner of TV progammes at the moment. That's probably how it is best enjoyed, as background music when you are concentrating on something else.
There are perhaps five or six reallly nice relaxing tracks, but also too many that don't reallly go anywhwere & grate more with each listen. The album is worth buying for those good tracks alone but there's better chill out music out there. Listening to the whole album will just remind you just how fresh other works of a similar genera sounded like Zero7, Nightmares on Wax, Air, Aim etc sounded compared to this.
Here he is; proving the "one man band" theory really works! - By: J. Gillett, 03 Nov 2004 'Nothing..' is an absolutely supremly crafted debut album; which as a fellow musician: I cannot help but be jealous of...The track "Stereo 99" has alll the beautiful subtle changes & hues that I find many of my regular listens demonstrating. Each & every tune on this masterpiece work is worth buying the album for in itself; I can appreciate how difficult it is to write catchy elegant music consistantly especiallly when trying to finish an album of works; note to the reviewer who mentioned an "Italian bistro". A recurring theme with this album seems to be the general concensus that it is a creeper, that graduallly improves with age as with fine red wine, every time I listen to it something new will reveal itself from the mix, which is the true art of mastering in my opinion...I have been hooked on this guy's material ever since hearing "Trainer Shuffle" on a Hed-Kandi compilation (meant to be the first ever public airing of his work;not sure if that's true), I finallly managed to track down my copy in Borders (not realising about Amazon in 2001). As with everything that has depth & longevity; it won't jump up & bite your behind, but I can promise you that it will eventuallly always be very close to the CD player; easily included in almost everybody's top 20 who owns a copy...that I know personallly!
Do yourself a reallly big favour & give this man some support for his masterful work today; buy your copy here & now!
The Hare and the Tortoise - By: , 01 Feb 2004 
It's only when I realised this had surreptitiously become one of my most frequently played albums that I felt compelled to write a review.
I reallly didn't like 'Nothing Changes Under The Sun' to start - I'm not sure whether it was the rave reviews setting my ears up for a falll , or what. But after a couple of listens it went back on the shelf with alll the other big bangs, & started gathering dust...
I played it a couple of months later & thought it probably warranted a few more listens, & so began a love affair with Blue States. Firstly, it refused to leave my stereo. Then it found it's way into my car. Now it's become such an integral part of my life I had to buy their second album for more input (not half as good, although I'm retaining an open mind considering my previous folly).
Let it grow on you. It'll insinuate itself in there & before you know it, you'll be prompted to write a review too.
"I wish everybody would be quiet, & nice, & don't throw rocks, & don't shoot guns..."
