The soul guitar intro of \u201cInvitation to Love\u201d is enough to make anyone stop and shimmy their shoulders, slowly but surely. But this is nitpicking; all in all, it\u2019s a peaceful electronic record, recommended if you want an entry point into the current state of blogosphere music, or if you need to keep your addiction fed.
