In the last few months since I posted on here, I've bought a few new CDs. Too many to talk about in the time I've got, but the latest one I will mention.
About a month ago, while taking part in an idea generation meeting for work, some music was played to sort of break up the silence while we were thinking. One track really impressed me, so I asked one of the organisers what it was. They told me it was called 'Wavy Gravy' by Sasha.
Now I've heard of Sasha before; he's a Welsh DJ, who is widely thought to be at the top of his game, but what I wasn't aware of was that he had produced a solo album. The track 'Wavy Gravy' however comes from his first solo album titled 'Airdrawndagger'. Apparantly the title of the album is a reference to a line in Shakespeare's Macbeth - something to do with a recurring dream.
I'm not a great fan of paying full price for CDs, but this title is from 2002, and in relatively short supply, so I bit the bullet and with my next Amazon order I added it to my basket.
When I returned from my business trip to Paris and Milan this week, it was waiting for me on my desk at work. I was really looking forward to listening to find out if the rest of the album was as good as the track I'd heard so put it on as soon as I got in the car to go home.
Initially, I had been planning to write that 'Wavy Gravy' definately is the best track, and whilst I'm still tempted to say that, the whole album is really growing on me. The genre is sort of Electronic Chill Out, but it's really really well produced. Some tracks sound like BT, there's elements of Robert Miles' later work on 23am, and of course William Orbit comparisons aplenty.
Overall a great CD, that I've been listening to non stop since yesterday evening, all through my working day today.
