- The Schengen album the Beijing of our career is now available from www.makeminemailorder.com and hopefully many of your favourite online retailers, priced at 5 pounds.
15 tracks, 45 minutes of music. Here is what a few kind people have made of it so far:
- "Imagine Seefeel, Aphex Twin and Basic Channel all mixed up into one big electronica melting pot." - www.normanrecords.com
- "It's kind of what Plone would sound like if they were hanging out with Aphex Twin for a few weeks." - www.boomkat.com
- "Quirky, subtle & melodious Electronica which borders on Techno in places, sounding like some of Carl Craig's earlier abstract work.
Soft, fragile little tracks that are a joy to listen too...." - www.smallfish.co.uk
-
"Electronica of the warm'n'fuzzy variety... hypnotic beats, ethereal soundwashes, vocal samples - and one particularly dream-like vocal lead. I have no doubt there are snug-genre descriptions for this sort of stuff bandied about like secret passwords by aficionados,
but I can only say that if years ears are attuned to the likes of B.Fleischmann, Domotic, Flowchart and Monopsone, this will do it for you - it does it for me, anyway. (JC)" - www.apexonline.com/melodybar/

- There have been some excellent reviews of the Make Mine Music compilation cd
Flow, including this one from Mark Barton at Losing Today
"...much joy has been gained from each passing release issued by Make Mine Music...
Schengen pitch in with two slices of electronica that are as contrasting as you could ever hope to wish for,
from the tantalisingly multi layered epic frosty stutter pop groove of City which reveals a subtle affection
for Land of Nod / Lakescene amid its grooves, to the discordant stormy off the rails blip culture of Just lately...
...An elegant release all said and done and one your collection could well do to have."
16 exclusive tracks in a limited edition of 500 copies in a hand stamped sleeve with an artwork
postcard.
