I was first exposed to
the single "inn a most" about a month back. I've now heard the full
length :BPM and would have to say "inn a most" is probably the most
accessible of the lot. A globally inspired sound incorporating tabla-like
scat voicings with sitar and Haynes' brass makes this track feel the
most organic. The rest of the album sits somewhere between drum 'n
bass and ambient, if one feels the need to categorize. However the
album definitely pushes the envelope. Twisted rhythms and chords along
with headtrippin' bass & synth aren't what make it so as much as Haynes'
ability to incorporate his jazz roots into a more current genre.
