One of the best albums of downtempo grooves we've heard in a long time! Fug mix together dubby beats, pinched instrumentation, and an isolated sense of spareness that's sort of an update of an older funky soundtrack style! The result is one of the freshest batches of tracks you'll spin this year – a no-nonsense affair that's steeped in real jazz traditions, yet which reaches boldly forward towards new limits. A few tracks feature female vocals, and the record's got some great keyboard work too. Titles include "RFO", "Thin Air", "Blue Movie", "Chunk", "Shrewd Movements", "The Prophet", and "Fairweather Friend". LP, Vinyl record album
