Word. The more I listen to the Urban Tribe album, the better it gets.
I've been working on a review, and it's one of those records that's
really, really hard to sum up. Very subtle, very *deep*, for lack of a
better adjective. Will's right--trip hop isn't the right word at all,
but it does capture some of the moodiness of the record. I think my
favorite thing about it is the subtle blending of methods: it combines
the synth washes of carl craig with really muted breakbeats (so
filtered, i can't quite tell if they're sampled breaks or drum machine),
and ever so sparingly drops in the odd sample of jazz horns. really
gorgeous. Look for a full review on the upcoming Urban Sounds update.
