Donnell Knox has a discography going back nearly 30 years. However, in spite of this obvious wealth of experience, he’s served up a massive turkey with ‘All You Need Is Rhythm (fest. Beata)’. It’s a repetitive piece of big room vocal house which outstays its welcome and grates. The vocal sounds out of place and not well produced. ‘The Dog’ is a funky piece of twitchy minimal techno which more than serves its purpose and ‘Channelling Crystal Energy’ a more full-bodied piece from the same stable, again though with a repetitive spoken word, as in the title track. This motif overwhelms somewhat and would have been more effective used more sparsely. An uneven package to these ears, with more negatives than positives.
