Some quotes & reviews for "Island Life" (released 18 May 09):
'The Ox has produced a record that is drenched in clubland chart nostalgia and sun-tanned memories; perfectly timed for the coming months. It manages to both feel like a love letter to musical times gone by and a well crafted record fit for drifting out of speakers complimented by the sounds of the ocean.' (4 out of 5 stars) - Owain, God is in the TV (June 19, 2009)

Has an oldschool vibe reminiscent of Chicane, BT, Leftfield, Craig Armstrong, etc. The Title track is OH so beautiful, but my fave has to be the very sunny trac Let Me Be, will be featured in my Beach Party sessions this season.
