Largely driven by delicate piano and pliant, propulsive percussion, Keeping The Little Things has its fair share of both standalone successes and bridging album cuts that keep the story moving. My favourite of said standalone successes comes early on as the second track "I Can't Remember If It Was A Dream" lays down the foundation from which the rest of Keeping The Little Things arises.
Awesome, engrossing atmospherics grow out of the bubbling, almost primordial piano opening as the evolution and expansion of both the track and album itself occur right before your eyes. Before you know it "I Can't Remember If It Was A Dream" has swept you off your seat and onto your feet as Fulton skillfully sprinkles in additional elements. And it is this sneakiness, in the lack of a drop or other more obvious hooks, that makes this track such a fabulous production. Fulton keeps feeding the four minute affair and it keeps growing, both in magnitude and closer to your heart until it gets stuck in your head. But I bet you can't you can't quite remember it once it's over.
Was it a dream? Better play it again to find out...
