Album Notes & Community Reviews

A defining release for the Hospital Records label, Lincoln Barrett's sophomore album heavily popularized the liquid funk subgenre of drum and bass. 'High Society' pairs incredibly fast, complex breakbeats with lush, uplifting string samples and soulful vocal cuts, achieving a remarkably mellow and highly melodic urban atmosphere.
