Interesting and innovative. The artist has managed to mix funk with contemporary classical quite well by my standards. Rich and textured throughout, this album is deep, introspective and thought provoking. It has a heavy atmosphere that grabs your attention and doesn't let go.
The violin seems out of place, not in a bad way though. It rises above the drum and bass rhythms creating the texture I spoke of. Furthermore, the violin is able to carry the mood of the song and is spaced perfectly to allow powerful basslines to break though. This album is written excellently and played thoughtfully. I love it.
Great album, thick and powerful basslines, consistent pulse. Sweet melody at times too. Fantastic dub.
A very strange album indeed. I have to admit, I was pretty enthralled by it.
It makes my music seem tame by comparison.
These songs are very abstract and are obviously not going to be for everyone. I understand why this appeals to some people, and I understand why it drives others away. This sort of music can't be explained, you either get it or you don't...You can argue that it's not music but that's a relative argument. Music is defined by cultural influence and the times we live in and not by a set of rules, any sound that has a temporal relationship can be called music.
One thing is certain, for better or worse it's quite bizarre. If you're looking for tame suburban 'indie' then stay away.
An organic and human feeling mixture of acoustic sounds and folksy vocals.
I loved this album it conveyed a sense of sincerity that I just thoroughly enjoyed.
