James Masterton, of Yahoo Chart Watch UK fame, has written a short
biographical blog about dan lo.fi. Read in full: blog.masterton.co.uk.
" The work of dan lo.fi is a series of aural soundscapes that somehow
manages to be both relaxing and invigorating, often within seconds of
each other. Each piece of music is immaculately produced and performed,
often based around a single musical motif that is then twisted and expanded
upon in ways that only truly become apparent in the third or fourth listen.
It is music that is just made for soundtracks, be they in commercials, in
films or drama or just as perfect background atmosphere. "
Thank you James!

I recently discovered a review at acornelectron.co.uk of a disc published
last year by OGM called, Daniel Pugh's BBC Music Demo World.

I wrote back then. You can even hear the original version
