4...according to our Phil on Thu 23 Oct, 2008.

And quickly leaving the delights of Razorlight behind I move onto to Tread Softly with their debut CD on Dead Pilot, called For Those Who... This is one of their limited jobs (50 copies in 2 different sorts of digipacks). Here we have 7 tracks of electronic ambience and drone which sounds pretty lush to my fat ears. It's all reasonably melodic and pleasant sounding. Would make a good sleepy time album and we all feel the need for more good sleepy time albums. It's part neo classical with some tinkly piano appearing along with some other synthesized instruments wandering through tunes like a blind bear. Ant has just asked if it was the new Tim Hecker and Aidan Baker album if that gives you an indicaton of what it may sound like? Smashing.

Tracklist:
1. Fields
2. Cane Hill
3. ...and she waited by the sea
4. They Touched The Sky
5. Forgotten
6. Shine
7. Into the Light

50 copies. 25 in glossy white card sleeve, 25 in recycled brown card sleeve. photography print cover art work and textured paper insert.

Debut mini album from Mihalis Santamas. Taking influence from industrial, shoegaze and post rock, Mihalis has developed a keen ear for crafting atmospheric and uplifting ambiance. From the sweet sounds of opener "Fields" , to the William Basinski esque decayed drone of "...and she waited by the sea" and the epic strings of "They Touched The Sky", "For Those Who..." manages to be incredibly consistant, yet takes leaps and dives into various styles of ambient, almost pop like in places and greatly cinematic in others, but always highly emotional. Comes highly recomended for fans of Eluvium, Library Tapes and Jasper TX.
