I also have listened to this album a few times and likes it very much.
It sounds very very good and the fact that Dousk has classical music training shows in the composition of the music - some of it is beyond the ability of Joe Random Laptop Producer. There's quite a bit of different styles but it works and it's a good thing IMHO and shows many facets of this producer.
My only minor gripe is the 2 or 3 useless and forgetable mnml tracks.

Not sure what to make of this. I listened to the sample clips online. A sophomore album is always tough for an artist. It needs to be inventive and fresh, while at the same time proving the first album wasn't just a fluke. I like the fact that Dousk is exploring other styles of music. Serenata Delouxe is the best track I've heard so far, really inspiring and has a very jazzy and nostalgic feel to it. Really reminds me of that classic Groove Armada album Vertigo. The rest of the selection didn't peak my interest the way it should, and I love downtempo music.
It is definately different from DIY. Some tunes i enjoyed are Touch me light mama, Flunked, Fat Princess, The Place, Dolly, Boy Toy and Heavy Armor (very prydish ).
7.5/10

Guys, I finally got my hands on an original copy of this album and all I can say is: it's amazing. Dousk is jazzy,funky,progressive,housy & ambient at the same time.
My favs are Gigi, Fat Princess, Ko Lee & Heavy Armor.
