№ 127 on The 250 Best Electronic Albums of the 21st Century

Just Ask the Lonely captures Omar-S's DIY Detroit house at its roughest and most direct. Hardware grooves, dry drums and unpolished surfaces give the album its personality, with simplicity doing more work than ornament. One track is called 'Track #8' and another '100% House'. That is Omar-S telling you how much sleeve copy he intended to write.

№ 10 on The 10 Best Deep House Albums

No distribution deal, no press, no interest in your opinion. Stubborn, unpolished Detroit house that sounds like an afternoon's work and has outlasted records that took years.

№ 16 on The 10 Best House Albums

No distribution deal, no press, no interest in your opinion. Stubborn and beautiful in exactly the proportions Detroit specialises in.
