Synopsis

Album Description
Born in Jamaica and raised in New Jersey, Desmond Williams has been experimenting with electronic music for nearly 15 years. His work with legendary dub engineer Scientist caught the ears of Thievery Corporation, and Williams has been a part of the ESL Studios and a resident at Eighteenth Street Lounge ever since. From the dub-spiced bossa of 'Um Favor' to the afro-beat reggae of 'Dread A the Roughest', Williams' debut album is a sublime piece of work that pushes downtempo into previously uncharted territories. Vinyl also available. 2002.

So many delights!

"Does ESL ever put out bad music? Mr. Williams' "delighs of the garden" is one of the best cd's of the year. his unique sound and beats make any night into a mello journey into the garden. great cd for background music. also great when having conversations or drinking a scotch on the rocks and wondering why everyone around you is so stressed out."
A masterful collection of sound, style, and downtempo beats

"I can't believe I haven't heard more buzz about this disc. Especially due the fact that Williams is touring with Thievery Corporation and is published by eighteenth street. Each track is an ecclectic mix of sounds woven together with only the touch an experienced DJ can create. If you're a fan of Thievery Corp, K&D, or possibly lounge, you will find this fantastic debut a worthy addition to your music collection."
The only problem with this album is...
