Funkin' Wayne

The first track reminds me of an artist that's not on Jamendo, but last I checked his music was free. An artist by the name mModule. If you like Gnarl check out his stuff. That's the first thing that came to mind listening to this track. Gnarl is a pretty solid on-the-downbeat track, which doesn't usually follow the flow of Jon Wayne's normal productions. It's quiet and somewhat reserved. I would almost call it an intro rather than a song.
The second track, Jamboro, brings us back to the "Jon Wayne" style of music. Showing off Jon's personal style of what can best be described as technically placed randomness. Lots of drums and harder sounds make this track what it is.
Dynamo starts out a little like the first one, quiet. The track itself has a chill beat to start and stays fairly quiet throughout.
Trudge is the fourth and final track. Right off I hear the clap sample which sounds a little out of place to me, but nevertheless I enjoy the beat that it helps produce. This is by far my favorite track, with many more sounds holding delay effects and better sense of flow when all the sounds are present. Good breaks and introduction of new sounds are done well. It gets a little stagnant in some areas, but other than that a good production.
It's a pretty solid album. I have to say I like it better than his first album. It's not exactly my cup o' tea, but try it. Might hit your taste buds just right.
