I like this!
So I clicked.
I'm listening to "I was Worried, O So Worried" and I really like the way it builds up. I would even have liked it if it had a few more layers and took longer to build up, so that by the end it was completely different to the beginning, if you know what I mean. I like that minimalist thing.
Have you listened to any Jon Hopkins? His song "Light Through The Veins" does that... looooong build up of layers. Some of your songs remind me of him, "Insides" sounds like your album in particular.

Some of the sounds you use seem a bit default midi - the trumpet sound. But that's possibly purposeful to give it a home-made feel? Or am I just being a git?
Anyway - I'm very jealous because I'd like to make an album but I don't for some reason... prolly 'cos I'm not good enuffff!

Nice, I really enjoyed Jon Hopkins - especially 'Light Through The Veins'. Maybe one day I'll extend a song out over ten minutes, once you get going it's possible to pretty much go on endlessly.
The sounds that seem default midi seem that way because they are - most of the album is actually midi, but shhh don't tell anyone! It was more out of necessity than choice, but lo-fi/home-made/etc. is all the rage anyway.
Just do it, it's the only way to find out if you're good enough. /motivationalspeech
