Customer Reviews

Truly Amazing!
I first came across this on the off chance; it was a random music download, but by the time I heard the first bars I loved it! It's very synthy - think Pet Shop Boys crossed with Imogen Heap or Human League crossed with Goldfrapp; Lush right? It's very relaxing, I had goosepimples the first time listening to it! It's also uplifting and the lyrics are very relevant. Five stars from me and a big positive thumbs up :)

Melancholy yet uplifting.
This is Owl City's first number-one single, reaching this position in seven countries and holding the posiition in the UK for three weeks. It's quite a melodic almost melancholy yet strangely uplifting song described by guest vocalist Matt Thiessen as "a little song about bugs and not being able to fall asleep at night. There's something that makes this song very relaxing and soothing and is definately a one that fit into either chillout or upbeat playlists.

A poppier version of Postal Service, but very good netherless!
I got the import version of the album from marketplace Ocean Eyes as it came out in the states last year, annoying that it takes so long to get it sorted with a uk distributor, anyway was about the same price with postage from states.

From start to finish its the nice blippy bloppy synth sounds that if you like Postal ServiceGive Up or Imogen Heap Ellipse or Speak for Yourself then you will probably like this. It's very good, my only concern is that it is maybe a bit too pop for me, but I can be a bit of a music snob so 99% of people please ignore me and if you think you are that other 1% have a listen anyway as it got me hooked quickly, but has been overplayed on the radio already. My highlight is this single Fireflies, which is why I have posted this on this page too, I heard this song first, but it is all very nice on the album too Ocean Eyes. Nice lyrics too. Suggest checking out a famous vid streaming site for the singles to listen to that other famous audio streaming site. :D Very good album too indeed!! I couldn't wait for the UK release before and I like my music legal and so should you! 22nd Feb grab the album, well worth it. But try my other suggestions too! :)
