Ben - I like this album. I’m not sure whether he’s the bomb of all bombs though. It is very accessible with lots of decent tunes and hooks - I don’t think there are any duff or difficult to listen to tracks. The sound reminds me of The The with an Amy Winehouse backing track (she gets a mention in Living from the dead). Overall I’m positive about this album and it’s been added to my music library.

Stu - With Peej offering the credit to our dear Edwin, it always had a good chance to tickle my fancy! I LOVE THIS LP, it keeps its appeal from start to finish and there are plenty of little hooks and flourishes to entertain the grey matter!! Great suggestion PEEJ an 8/10 from me, and a great addition to my extraordinary curated MUSIC COLLECTION ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ⭐

Paul - Not the sort of thing I’d usually listen to but there’s a lot to like about this. I enjoy the mix of musical styles and the harmonies are great. Gaspard has an excellent voice too. I fancy he should be in Eurovision or putting a Bond theme together! Top track is the clever, jazzy A Living from the Dead. I’ll be listening to more Gaspard. Thanks Edwyn!
