Additional information
On their earliest releases, the melodic synth pop that duo Still Dreams presented could be strikingly familiar. The chunky synth bass progressions and twinkling arpeggios on their 2018 debut Theories were sometimes approximated fairly closely from more recognizable moments from New Order or Human League. Still Dreams' creative voice was still the driving force of the songwriting, but it could be outshined at times by the more glaringly obvious reference points. That voice comes to the forefront on Make Believe, as the duo weave their influences into more intricate compositions and rich, dreamy atmospheres. Album opener "Ultra Doomed" sets a foundation of complex drum programming and layers it with reverb-heavy synths and vocal melodies that recall the mysterious outer-limits pop of the Cocteau Twins. Still Dreams' sound always incorporated strains of shoegaze noise among the more straightforward synth pop elements, but that winning combination reaches new depths here on songs like the jauntily warped pop of "Live with Excuse" or the gently hazy title track. Their love of '80s synth pop heroes like New Order, Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, and Pet Shop Boys still comes through loud and clear (especially on tracks like "Last True Love," which has a few instances that directly reference "Bizarre Love Triangle"), but they tie in the cinematic grandeur of M83, the infectious weirdness of Grimes, and a skewed take on melodic delivery and composition that's all their own. As much as Make Believe can be a treasure trove of reference points, the details gel together into something larger and more interesting. Clearly scholars of music and arrangement, Still Dreams place every cloudy vocal, wistful synth melody, and reverb-saturated drum hit with intention and precision. The eight songs of Make Believe are easily the brightest and most versatile of the group's discography up until this point, neatly reflecting the band's tastes and using their most beloved influences as jumping-off points to create their own uniquely strange and beautiful world of sound. ~ Fred Thomas

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
