Title: Taid
Artist: Alex Jones
Label: Hypercolour
Cat Number: HYPE093
Genre: Groove
1: Taid
2: Artichoke
There’s no doubt that on this release Alex Jones is trying to do something a little different. On ‘Taid’ ,the ambience is relaxed while the bpm count remains around your standard housey doings. The vocal which is strategically deployed is an off-kilter touch that doesn’t outstay it’s welcome. ‘Artichoke’, (that most underused of vegetables), goes down a similar route but is more uplifting within its pervasive melancholia. Clutching at straws in order to draw comparison with something sends me heading towards the idea that if early Massive Attack decided to make house, this is what it might have sounded like.
