SHAPE THE FUTURE | NIGHTMARES ON WAX

 

2.10.18 Like an early 70s dub record this has a meditative (perfect word from the review below) flow to it. I found myself totally entranced into the 2nd track. A real nice work.

Ben Hogwood at Music Ohm writes: Many of its best moments have a meditative quality that allows the listener to get away from it all. The title track is a profound piece on thought control; a less is more approach working perfectly through the softly sung lyrics and the slowly shifting textures just below the vocal line. Similar depths are explored by Jordan Rakei, a great choice for Typical and its understated soulful thoughts. Deep Shadow, meanwhile, has a muffled vocal from Sadie Walker in what feels like a distant nod to Lauryn Hill’s That Thing. It starts to burn into the listener’s mind, along with the song’s tale of how “you just don’t understand the troubles with my man”. . . .
