[What people say about Poskad Dari Shanghai]

"I have just listened to the whole album. I really like the mellow mood and how it kind of dims your mind. All tracks are really soft and calm you down. There are some really cool jazzy lines in the songs. The album somehow reminds me of the videogame Final Fantasy XII. Like when you are hiking over wide dreamscapes. The huge reverb in the background takes a big role I think. It's a really sweet piece of art that you created. "
