Digital Dope have published an album review for Tremor.
https://www.digitaldope.club/single-post/2018/02/25/DrOptimiser---Tremor
"Neil Garrett's (DrOptimiser's) Tremor album, has a vast variety of instrumentals, all seeming to take on different genres then the previous tracks.
For instance the first track on the album "Dark Side in Tremor" takes a more classical, electronic feel... and a later track "Nigel's Gone Dancing" has a EDM/Dubstep/DnB feel to it.
Listening to this two tracks alone really show you Dr Optimiser's talent and capability to produce multiple genres, which a lot of people tend to struggle in doing.
"What if"... my personal favourite track felt really nostalgic to me and made me reflect on childhood memories... in fact it had a similar effect on me as Home - Resonance
All in all I think this album has amazing potential for Film/Tv projects with its captivating instrumentals that are at a extremely high production standard and will definitely like to see more from Dr Optimiser!"
