Album Notes & Community Reviews
The second album by London trip hop trio Attica Blues, 'Test. Don't Test' was self-produced by Tony Nwachukwu, Charlie Dark and vocalist Roba El-Essawy following the group's departure from Mo' Wax. Its production favors live-sounding breakbeats and soul instrumentation over sample collage, placing the record in the UK street soul lineage as much as in trip hop.
