Album Notes & Community Reviews

Tony Colman spearheads a monumental release in the evolution of modern drum and bass, completely replacing cold digital programming with lush, fully live organic instrumentation. The fast-paced, syncopated breaks are softened by sweeping strings, warm jazz-funk basslines, and soulful vocal performances, defining the highly melodic 'liquid' sound that became the hallmark of the influential Hospital Records label.
