Q Magazine 2003
This essay in evocative electronica is the debut from Glenn Gregory and Keith Lowndes (ex Heaven 17 and ABC respectively). Far from dated, it sounds beguiling, contemporary and frequently sublime. Sweet As Honey is as symphonic as Mezzanine-era Massive Attack or their Bristolian disciples Alpha, Losing My Mind and Summer Sky patrol the outer limits of the exquisite melancholy patented by Moby, and Falling reinvents the lush dreampop of Julee Cruise. Somehow, though, Gregory and Lowndes maintain their own deft, delicate identity throughout

Future Music 2003
Soulful electronica meets blissful beats meets atmospheric, filtered ambiance...with lyrics! This is a chilled blend of Air, Archive and a whole bunch of late 90¹s smoking bands with a contemporary twist (the songwriting) that bring it up to date. What this kind of thing normally needs are one or two outstanding tracks to lift it above the many acts doing the same kind of thing. Fortunately in Losing My Mind, Sunrise Sunset and Sweet as Honey you have three classic tracks. It¹s no coincidence that these are the opening tracks but there¹s plenty more on Sound Echo Location to get you in the mood. 8/10

Mojo
A collection of long drifting tracks with a distinct whiff of Air, early ambient house and travelogue soundtrack. Polished, mellow and highly agreeable.

Phil Strongman - Freelance & Hi Fi News Journalist
You want atmosphere? Filmscore? Melodic dance? You want it, you got it. Glenn Gregory took us from Penthouse to Pavement; now it's time for the beach and all things natural. Losing My Mind's summer thunder sets the scene superbly, Sunrise Sunset gives us Soul II Soul rhythms before Sweet As Honey and State of Mind hit the dancefloor. Tender, dynamic and genuinely evocative. Echo location? Sound.
Atmospheric, beautifully crafted, an opus that soothes away the winter cold with promises of sunny days

DJ Magazine
It should sound good sitting in Ibiza¹s Cafe del Mar at sunset
