Amazon.co.uk Review
There's no shortage of quality chill-out albums around these days. Take Blue States debut album Nothing Changes Under The Sun, for example. It contains the sort of brilliant, uplifting music that should be soundtracking perfect sunsets and endless summer evenings. Blue States man Andy Dragazis takes his cue from the likes of Kruder & Dorfmeister and Air, fusing warm, bass-heavy beats with gentle acoustic guitars, sublime Hammond keys and quietly uplifting strings. Some tracks are lush and dreamy, while others are clear and refined. The album's roomy, cinematic elegance suggests a love for the work of classic soundtrack composers like John Barry, Ennio Morricone and Roy Budd. With its lazy melodies, enchanting strings and sexy keys, Nothing Changes Under The Sun is one of the most beautiful albums you're likely to hear in a long, long time. The summer will never be the same again. --Matt Anniss

Customer Reviews

Beautifully wonderful.
This is one of my most favourite albums that I own! If you are a fan of chill-out and electronica you will actually love it. You won't be disappointed. I only bought this album about a month ago and I listen to it most days and I don't think I will ever get fed up with it.

Delicious
Bought this as a recommendation and a fan of Air, Zero 7, Royksopp etc and loved it! This is not just background music, this CD has strong tunes and delicious melodies and yet is a really laid-back chillout album that everyone should hear.

Why does everyone like this so much?
This is one of those alblums that like the K&D sessions that appears in the background of all manner of TV progammes at the moment. That's probably how it is best enjoyed, as background music when you are concentrating on something else.

There are perhaps five or six really nice relaxing tracks, but also too many that don't really go anywhwere and grate more with each listen. The album is worth buying for those good tracks alone but there's better chill out music out there. Listening to the whole album will just remind you just how fresh other works of a similar genera sounded like Zero7, Nightmares on Wax, Air, Aim etc sounded compared to this.
