As far as house albums go, it’s damn near perfect.
Sweden’s YMC have been compared to the likes of Lemon Jelly et al in some quarters – but, apart from the subtle atmospherics, it’s quite hard to see why.

And, yep, none of the 12 tracks jump out at you (apart from the excellent ‘Niteflite Part 1 and 2’) – but this is a good thing – all are equally as good as the others. It’s a deep, subtle journey through house with added dashes of swirling atmospherics and ambience – underpinned by a dancefloor nous.
