Jazz Critic is going to love this record. Tunes like 'Welcome Home' are suave electronica painted from the pallet of Miles Davis's 'Kind of Blue' and, when grouped together with the more ambient spacey jazz sounds of 'Moon Light' and 'Spirits With Jiwe', we have a record that's certainly very....cool.

I'd rather that mainman Jason Robertson had explored the jazz side of things more and the deep house side of things less, but that's just my own personal tastes and personal aversion to four-on-the-floor rearing it's ugly head. Sophisticated de-stress music, then, though the musos amongst us may prefer to dig up the be-bop classics instead... because they still haven't been improved upon...just re-mixed for the noughties.
