Perfect weeded melodies over groovy basslines February 27, 2008
I'm a hip hop fan first, so I found this when I was looking for good beats from the likes of Pete Rock and DJ Shadow. This CD blew me away. It has a very gentle sound that underwhelmed me at first, but then punched me in the face with its absolute beauty.
The first track Les Nuits is very cool, with a very serious bassline moving the listener in and out of a building symphonic string melody that sounds like the soundtrack of a very profound movie. Morse follows, another standout track which breaks into the fun side of Nightmares on Wax. The bass is very upbeat, and synthesizers complement this perfectly until you reach the female vocals, which brings the song to a whole new level of sound. Now you are ready for what's coming.
Ease Jimi is the next standout, and with its infectious horn play this might very well be your favorite. A feel good track that manages to be fast paced and chilled out at the same time. Next is Argha Noah, with another great muted bassline taking us in and out of one bar-guitar riffs and synth effects all swirling around each other, very cool.
Now comes Fire in the Middle. This song took me completely by surprise, and floored me with its simple beauty. An intricate acoustic guitar lick runs under the perfect synth riff. It has a sense of absolute vulnerability about it, because it's the best mellow instrumental track ever made, and it knows this, because it just puts it all out there, with no extra frills.
Capumcap's good too, but I can't be bothered to write about it, I just put on this CD and I need to just vibe for awhile. If you are a human being and you have ears, you will love it. Buy it immediately.

IF YOU LOVE HIP HOP FLAVORED INSTRUMENTALS WITH THAT DEEP LOW BASS,THEN THIS IS THE ONE YOU MAY WANT IN ROTATION,BEEN A FAN OF THIS OUTFIT FOR A MINUTE NOW, AND THEY NEVER CEASE TO DELIVER......
Perfect Album June 8, 2007
Very few albums are perfect or close to it. This album is complete perfection. The beats are mellow yet hip and the bass is just cool. I had no idea what I had been missing musically until I heard this album. What's not to love? This album flows soooooooo well! A must own!
Masterpiece.............. May 26, 2007
.........or, as Merriam-Webster would define it, "a supreme intellectual or artistic achievement".
Seriously, this recording is perfection from beginning to end. An absolute favorite of mine.
