| It's hard not to compare this to Cities because I don't think they'll ever top it, but for what it's worth this album is still amazing. |

| This piece of music is sometimes uplifting, sometimes heart-wrenching but always beautiful. It's hard to find a mood in which I don't want to listen to this. |

| I've been a fan of this ambient/electronic duo for a while. Their albums are mellow, yet uplifting; in a genre that has essentially gone stale for me, Awake in the City is a breath of fresh air that will likely find itself quite high on my year end list. I highly suggest you check it out. |
