I like this guys flow. He's really mellow, but isn't afraid to get whacky with it. Good stuff, sort of reminds me of odb.

Awesome song, laid back with a positive outlook. I love the acoustics at the end of the song. These guys are awesome.

This is a really charming ray of sunshine in the normally moonlit world of rye: a bit like a world-weary Morrissey or Neil Hannon lamenting smalltown life over a backing that sounds like REM, but with Bryan ferry on electric piano. A perversely funny, touching, 'happily sad' piece of perfect pop. Great tune: a real grower. Verse, bridge, chorus... middle 8... check. Overdiven guitar, check. Steady odd, christopher. If you're not careful you'll crack a smile and write a hit.

Sounds like a retro club hit to me: one part Depeche Mode, one part nu-metal. Sort of like the anti-Cher goes clubbing. Gothic but not Goth. Insanely catchy. A single?

Check out Chirstopher Rye's new album. As always, fantastic production, layered songs and a variety of sounds.
This songs has a semi-retro 80's vibe, sparse vocals and a lot going on in the background.

Blimey....christopher rye suddenly, and rather brilliantly, morphs into Beck for this very funky piece of alternative pop about endlessly cocking up your life. I like the way the vocal morphs into different characters a well... neat. Very un-rye-like, but very good.

This is my favourite song on what is, I have to say, a stunner of an album. I downloaded it from the preview as it sounded Coldplay-like (circa their new album) with a lovely piano hook, but the song turns out to be a lush, dreamy seductive ballad that's weirdly sexy with Floydian harmonies and a vaguely Byronic lyric. What a great singer this guy is turning into.... one of the major strengths of this brilliant set. Give this guy a listen... a cllection that is a giant leap forwards in terms of songs.

No 40-sec preview can do this song justice: just download the whole track. Starting with rolling (Japanese?) drums and the words "I know you're lonely..." this amazing track is one of half a dozen standout tracks on this new collection. It builds and builds... and builds... first into a swirling symphony of keyboard riffs and then, at about 2.15 suddenly turns into a huge pounding house tune with epic vocals. Starts out sad, ends ositive and triumphant.
