Hmm good point, which I can totally understand. For me personally though, I need some sort of rhythmic structure in my electronic music. His atmosphere is indeed superb, but I can't handle that sort of thing for two hours straight, unless I just employ it as background noise while I'm doing other stuff.

Yeah I was kind of surprised how well it worked on me, because, while everyone knows I love electronic music, my main love will always be more beat-oriented stuff. And I think there's something to be said about the merits of music that work as just background music; to me there's a difference between that and say, "white noise"

Dude how did I miss this. I listen to so much trip-hop. It is definitely better than Black Sands.



This is some seriously sexy music

Yes! Wonder which direction he'll go next, more dance oriented or back to more chilled out trip-hop.

Thanks! Your review is really great. It's simple and to-the-point



As for the music, I hope he sticks with something close to what he did on this album. Black Sands had really good execution and writing but was not terribly unique. His earlier stuff was a tad too simplistic for my tastes. I trust that whatever Bonobo does it will be good. He has had a generally excellent career

I'm planning on writing up a 5/5 review for Black Sands sometime in the near future. I love this, don't get me wrong, but Black Sands has probably become my favorite album ever

He's got a new mix out for the Late Night Tales series that's pretty fun as well if you like DJing.

TBH don't like his DJing as much as his more organic (?) stuff you find on his last few albums, though to be fair I only really have a Boiler Room mix to judge from. That style of house just isn't my thing
