This is the debut album from UK band Mostly Autumn. They are playing rock mixed with reminiscences to Celtic music, Fairport Convention, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd and Steeleye Span. This is a very strong debut album with a lot of power, great melodies and good musicianship from this band. They are using various untraditional instruments such as Djembe, flute, tambourine, violin and whistles together with traditional rock instruments. The highlights are the opening progressive track "Nowhere To Hide", the two beautiful Celtic folk rock tracks "Folklore" and "Shenanigans", the Irish influenced "Out Of The Inn" and the closing 10-minute "The Night Sky".

How they manage to expertly juxtapose glassy tones with rich sub bass is quite a knack that not many carry off successfully, especially with actual melodies rather than the usual staccato arpeggios which can tire your ears quickly. "Just released on the Fantasy Enhancing label is the new Autumn Of Communion album "Data Space Bass" displaying seven tracks of genre defying electronica. Possibly our most diverse deep & mysterious coherent album to date?" - Autumn Of Communion
