. Si Begg: Commuter World cd (Caiprinha) This is a great album of with many varied moods & styles all based around Mr Begg's day-to-day travels in London. For the most part this album is of deep groovy dowtempo electronica but there are a few snippets of most percussive techno and d&b too. Often throughout the album samples from London travels are added to the mix giving this release a nice dreamy/atmospheric feel as well. This album reminds me of what a Chill Out vs Burger/Ink or Bionaut collaboration would sound like. A very entertaining release and at a domestic price nonetheless. 8/10 Tracklisting: - Good Morning - Commuter World (Baker Street) - Rush Hour Arrival (Oxford Circus) - Office Politics - R.S.I. and M.E. (Nineties Disease) - Like You Just Don't Care (Bored at Club U.K.) - Journey Home (NCP to A40 Westbound) - All Night Season (Ruislip Manor) - I Was There (Sleep Deprivation) - 24hr Garage Mission - Walk Home Through Shoe Box Estate - Post Jack Journey - Wave Station Platform 3 - Delays on the Met Line - Signal Failure - Viaduct Route at Sunset - Living in Suburbia - Living in Suburbia, pt 2 - So Many People, So Little Noise The first of "many" Recoreviews to come this weekend... -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states

after listening to the new si begg album a few more times i realize my initial review was way off. this album does contain a fair share of downtemp sample-laiden tracks, but there are just as many manic techno/breakbeat cuts on this album as well. still a recommend release just ditch my earlier Chill Out comparison. This album is everything you've come to expect from Si Begg - from melody to madness and everything in between. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
