amstrong - hot water music
this is superb, very laid back beats,superb production, live instruments with strange effects/overdubs .. the singing is very stylish - almost in a gothic style, this is highly recommended for those whole like the crustation/massive attack side of things. several tracks have strings by the prague philaharonic orchestra - and are compelling.
its a varied release.. one track has males vocals, the rest female, some are ambient, some are guitar based .. the male vocals actually induced memories of classic moody tracks by the seminal shriekback i just wish there were more like that - one track is very commercial/pop sounding like a european version of mono.
its not as bassy/dark as mezzanine but it does have that brooding type atmosphere on one or two tracks, gothic trip-hop anyone ?
excellent.
