FOR THE RECORD at OPTICAL SLOTH

Kevin Bramer has reviewed For the Record over at Optical Sloth.
"If reading this doesn’t make you nostalgic for some of your favorite music (and, most likely, dig out some older music you haven’t listened to in years), then I’m afraid that you just don’t have any soul in you. Yes, I’d call that highly recommended, wouldn’t you?" Have a read of the whole review here: https://opticalsloth.com/?p=29472

FOR THE RECORD at DOWN THE TUBES

John Freeman has reviewed For the Record over at Down the Tubes.
"While clearly an intensely personal project – musical tastes very much unique to everyone – it’s a project that works well on different levels. Firstly, as a history of musical discovery, and a guide to how the music industry has changed; secondly, it gets you thinking just what your favourite music is, too, David’s choices occasionally resonating, many not – also offering the opportunity to discover sounds you may be unfamiliar with, but his enthusiasm for them might just send you exploring."
