Maya Jane Coles is the future of electronic music. The 25 year old British-Japanese producer/DJ/vocalist is on the brink of her biggest release to date with her full length album COMFORT on her own I/AM/ME label through Kobalt Label Services. COMFORT promises to be an eclectic melting pot of sounds and textures drawing on everything from house and techno through R&B and Dub. This is not just any dance album; it's a beautiful, subtle, pop-laced full length that can stand up to and goes well beyond that of her contemporaries in either pop, dance, or in the indie world.

Great record...as long as you don't care about the digital files
First, the albums are fantastic. I had already purchased the digital album months ago and new I loved the songs. However, the purchased digital files were pretty poor quality with lots of compression and in a lo-res bit-rate. I was hoping the download card would be for 320 MP3's or FLAC like most record download cards. It is not...it was 160.So...if you are only going to listen to the vinyl you will be completely thirlled with this excellent album.If they digital download is an important part of this , just go in with eyes open,

Dope
Recently got into MJC after listening to her Boiler Room sets and hearing some of her remix works. She was never what I expected but as I started listening to more of her stuff she's now become a fixture in my personal list of artists to always be on the lookout for. To be honest when it comes to house music I never look forward to full length LP's from even my favourite producers/DJs but this was a pleasant surprise. Deep, lush, makes you move as well as can put you in a bit of a thoughtful, or perhaps thoughtless trance. Highly enjoyable album that will keep you moving pretty much the whole way through. A solid addition to the collection.

Buy this NOW!!
What an amazing album! It's sort of a combination of deep house with a bit of trip hop. I bought it yesterday and have listened from beginning to end several times. It's (along with the Disclosure cd "Settle" and the Tricky cd "False Idols") one of the the best EDM cd's of the year....no...skip that...one of the best cd's of the year! Once you purchase this go back and buy the "Easier to Hide" EP and the remixes of "Everything". You can thank me later!

Deep House Love and Intensity
This is a fantastic album, warm notes and deep rolling basslines are the key to this relaxing and passionate work. I enjoyed the different vocalists and their respective styles from track to track, and the average track length of 5 minutes or more is a must for me. Music is my form of meditation and I have found Maya Jane Coles recent work to be a great way to escape and feel the music. Thank you soo much.

finally!
I'm obsessed. I got this 2 days ago, and I can't stop listening. Each song is brilliant, and there's a great variety of vocalists here. Not only good music, but great to listen to also. If you like her other stuff, you'll like this; if you haven't heard anything by her, take the time to stream it (etc), it's worth it.

Fresh, various, simply: very good album.
Go to youtube, see and listen Everything, than maybe also Burning bright (my favourite from album) and you will know why you should have it.

Incredibly Underrated
I'm very particular about electronic music, but this is an absolute masterpiece.The production is impressive; not "Bonobo - The North Borders" impressive but impressive.I think Maya Jane Coles' vocals are overshadowed by the guest appearances on the album as her voice is more than capable of holding it's own.I'd find it hard to sub-categorise this album into something more particular than electronic, but "genreless" albums are often the best.Play front to back without touching the mouse/keyboard/hi-fi/remote control.

Excellent
MJC managed to fill an album with some fantastic house moments and overall the result is a deep, fruity, original blend of shuddering tracks.

Fantastic
What a purchase! So pleased I bought this. I might just have to start frequenting dance floors in anticipation of any one of several of these tracks being unleashed; I can only imagine the effects. The slower tracks don't disappoint. Deep - and original - throughout: no mean feat. Thank you Maya Jane Coles.

Wahnsinn!!!
Wer keine gute Laune mehr hat, der ist mit dieser CD bestens bedient. Sie vermittelt pure Lebensfreude, Rhythmus, Energie und Elan. Alles Dinge, die in der heutigen schnelllebigen Gesellschaft leicht verloren gehen. Kaufen, genießen und hören immer und immer wieder. Das ist die beste CD, die ich je gekauft habe.
