Colours

Certain to captivate drum & bass enthusiasts, Colours will also appeal to anyone interested in electronic synergies. This debut release from England's Adam F combines breakbeat influences with jazz fusion using synthesized chords, trumpets, and flutes. Wayward guitars and spooky organ tones creep in from the shadows as well. The wired sounds of "Music in My Mind" introduces an exotic vocoder effect which teases with robotic strokes. Rounding it out on the mic, guest vocalists Tracy Thorn, from Everything But the Girl, and L.T.J. Bukem's sidekick MC Conrad delight the senses. Come prepared. The techniques will have you reeling. --Lucas Hilbert
