Release Notes:



These guys have been getting some serious airplay on Radio one

over recent months, not just from Annie Mac and Zane Lowe, but

even enjoying a slot on the Chris Moyles` Breakfast Show! It?s

easy to see why with a UK tour date list as long as your arm

including a stint at FabricLive on 21st November and a new

artist album out on the mighty Andy C?s label, Ram Records.



So it was with eager ears that I listened to ?More than A Lot?

and really enjoyed the refreshing mix of sounds on first

listen. Lulling you in with a first track of melodic high

notes and a rolling baseline, the second tune ?Music Club? is

an amusing upbeat parody of dance music production in a

seventies film-soundtrack type style. Yoda style ?cutting &

pasting? influences also show in the hip hop flavoured

?Against All Odds? featuring Kano while ?Streetlife? takes the

musical direction on a ragga tip.



Stand out-track and current single ?Pieces? showcases the

singing and guitar-strumming talents of up and coming young

urban artist Plan B, who?s signed to the Street?s record label

and has been dubbed the ?English Eminem?. The track switches

sharply yet enjoyably between Acoustic guitar riffs and a

driving jump-up baseline.



Continuing the contrast in inspiration, ?Eastern jam? fuses

Bhangra with a dark, dark dubstep to create an Aphex

Twin-esque sound that?s not really pleasurable but intriguing

anyway. In fact, the most memorable thing about the album is

all its contrasts. Sometimes the sound is reminiscent of a

liquid Logistics Release but then it turns to the heavier,

harder style of Subfocus? productions, exemplified in

?Running? and ?Is It Worth It?



While the second stand-out track, ?Hurt You? rolls along

nicely with a kick-drum beat and liquid female vocals,

musically it?s not far removed from the Hospital Records

output of 5 years ago. Which is actually a fair overview of

the whole album. Despite all its collaborations and

crossovers, it doesn?t pack many musical punches. After a few

listens I have to admit that it?s not all killers, there are a

few fillers. I was surprised that a couple of tunes on the

second half of the album made it on to the final

track-listing. Even some of the tunes I really enjoyed on

first listen don?t leave much of a lasting impact. Perhaps in

an effort to showcase eclectic influences, an element of

ingenuity was lost along the way. Overall it was an enjoyable

if not overly original album, just missing the mark of ?More

Than A Lot?
