Super-Smooth Jungle-Jazz with a break beat twist

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A smooth synthesis of jungle, jazz, and break-beat grooves, this collection features some of the most stylish abstrakt electronica available today. Fueled by a richly melodic tapestry of live instruments and samples layered over a strong foundation of jungle breaks and jazzy beats, the CD offers a great opportunity for late-night lounging or early morning groove. At times it is reminiscent of the jazz of the late sixties and early seventies yet it stays decidedly progressive and forward looking from beginning to end. It has truly become a treasured disc in my collection."
