Tracing Arcs have a place among the finest artists that I've ever had the pleasure of discovering on Jamendo. It's a rare treat to discover music so beautifully written, performed, and produced.

Inevitably, comparisons with Portishead and Massive Attack are bound to come to mind when listening to any artist playing this sort of music, and the similarities certainly stick here. However, this is far more than a simple carbon copy of a tried and tested formula. Instead, Tracing Arcs have built on the genre, and have made it their own, and for that they deserve recognition.

Highlights of the album for me include "Crytalk" (loving the electric piano work here!), "Through a Glass Darkly" and "Desperate Measures".

Truly a beautiful album that should be heard by anyone who's got the time!

Instantaneously captivated, it took some consecutive hearings, to clear my mind and grow some thinking inside my head, about these glorious and passionate musical set of tracks. Not one or two... or even three, but ten. Ten very intense moments of musical seduction, on the account of a very intimate and extremely sensual environment, to which the hot, calm yet delightfully provocative female vocals, are irrefutably and in a first instance, directly responsible. Nevertheless, as the hearing takes place, the initial strong appeal from the vocals, goes naturally diluting by integration, in the perfectly involving, instrumental structures, which prove not to be, decidedly, merely a basis or simple support for the vocals.
The sound is very smooth and fairly bodied... and here, is where the almost always discreet yet very present bass work, gets a lot of responsibility.
Despite having a dark shadowed kind of sonority, there's this constant jazz aroma, also delivered by the vocals, not too intense and almost sweet enough, to instigate a calm inspiring sensation... sometimes almost healing and cleanser for bad thoughts and stubborn memories.

If you are not looking for pounding beats and you need some ear soothing don't hesitate adding this to your playlist.

I became familiar with this release almost a year ago on D.W.K.s website and promtly sought out all the other material these fine musicians had created.Today I still rate Crytalk;Through a Glass Darkly and Desperate Measures as highly now as I did when I first first heard them.Paul your compositional skills are impeccable and this coupled with Fran's sophisticated vocals makes a potent mixture and I await your next release with great anticipation.

I came across this album on Jamendo...Truly refreshing, beautiful, and inspiring... check out "CryTalk", "Desperate Measures", and "A Pig and a Cow"...now playing on All Tribes Radio
