I imagine I would never have heard of this album if not for the way it encourages you to not only download and listen to the tracks but build your own cover and casing for it. If:Then:Goto comes with a set of instructions on how you can build the album cover so you could burn your songs onto a CD, slip it into the freshly made cover and put it on your CD display rack.
Well, if you thought that was gimmicky, yes it was. But, what it did show was how powerful Creative Commons licensed music is. I imagine that people will one day have an album cover printer made specially for printing album covers over the Internet.
This album has been out on the web for a while but it’s still a great electronic-esque rock album. The production values are very good and it has the laid back British rock style. Listen to this album if you’re into soft rock acts like Coldplay. The remixes that close out the album are not too bad but not as good as the original tracks.
Favourite songs:
Easy
This was an easy choice for a favourite track. Great songwriting here.
Painting by the Numbers
The 4th track and signifies the transition from a slower style to a much faster one.
Queen of Bees
Great groove.

You probably have some memory of him if you have listened to If:Then:Goto by Another Syntax Error which was featured on gratisvibes some time ago. He is no other than bad loop, one of the remixers from the album. His remix was one of the better ones on the album that I actually liked. Being curious, I decided to check him ut-of-listening-to-his-musicout and it just happens that not only has he done remixes, he has also released a few albums of his own. […]
