Nightmares On Wax : Carboot Soul / Warp 1999
From those wonderful guys who gave us the perennial smokers'
delight Smokers' Delight, comes Carboot Soul which has been 4
years in the making.
So I immediately buy it on sight, rush home and eagerly pop it on:
first track beautiful: warm and bubbly and familiar and comforting.
Alas. This is the best track on the album. From there it's a steady
descent into pleasant enough but unchallenging Saturday afternoon
Jazz territory, fem vox and all; and if the word "noodle" were not
currently blacklisted, that would readily spring to mind here.
Track 7, Argha Noah, is the only other highlight, imo.
I was surprised to be so disappointed by this release. Will it grow?
What are other opinions?
