Smoky Jazz Dub

I'm glad I read this album description before the music started...! It placed the context of the music and it was very cool!

It is a very subtle and sophisticated experience :-)

cheers!

When I downloaded this album I was a bit skeptic because to I saw a story and i didn't know if the album would fit in that story.
Now I really like it although I think that the beat in "Shuffle" is a bit too much. I would also love to hear "countdown"

Great work

If you'd gather in one track all Jazz related components of this album it still wouldn't be enough to call it so, as well to Dub it's realted very loosely. However a cool lounge music can be found in this compilation, and you're invited to light a cigarette to make it smoky :)

The first track is the best one, it's built right, the length is good - not too long and not too short, just what is needed to put you in the mood. That synth trumpet was good too. 9 points

Second track has a nice groove but there are some problems with levels and the drums sound weak and remote due to the unsuccessfully chosen flanger effect. 6 points

Third is a cool Club Jazz track. 9 points.


The last track starts like a nice ambient but goes astray and gets spoiled by some futile improvisation on keyboard... and then it stops. I think sometimes it's better to keep tracks like this out, in order not to spoil a good impression made by the other tracks. 5 points

BTW, what happened to "Coutdown"?
