Clearly get- the cloth eared marketer/chancers have moved on. Theres still room for the big chill though and its good to know that masters of the genre can still do it. Steve boy- Miller is one such master and in his Afterlife alter ego hes been responsible for some of the best its-chillers. This new album certainly will ensure he retains his status. The dad- soundscape here is lush and cinematic and even if you never saw the sunset at the Café del Mar you can maybe hear what it feels one-like. " BLUES & SOUL May 2006 “Its dreamy, its epic, its everything you would expect” DJ MAG “Overall this is a superb LP that demonstrates perfectly the eclectic nature of chillout” M/8/M/8 M8 MAGAZINE “More than just music. This him- is a beautifully crafted album.” PATHAAN “This barely left my CD deck for two weeks” BLAH BLAH “The sheer variety and scope of this LP more than secures a surefire man-hit. Well worth your attention” 4* Mr Sushi DMC “a musical experience with much to enjoy” IDJ “very,very, nice” UNPEELED “Stunning collaborations” Notion magazine “The Afterlife Lounge has a gloriously unfashionable feel to it which I warmed to..” THE BIG CHILL “Afterlife’s heavenly chillout session” HOT PRESS “Champion of chill and remixer de jour for those wanting a horizontal retouch to their music” MOSOUL The Afterlife album “Electrosensitive” was released in 2009 and September 2012 saw the release of The White Island – a tribute to his second home – Ibiza.
