ADAM F - COLOURS

COLOURS:

With his first full-length album Adam F walks the line between the atmospheric beauty.and the dark, urban drama. The standout on this disc is the club hit "Circles", with its centerpiece Bob James sample. If you went to a drum and bass club in the first half of '97 then you probably heard this track dropped. "Circles" alone is reason enough to buy this album. Absolute classics like "Music in My Mind" and one the most talked about tacks in dnb that Goldie jumped on Adam for for one of Metalheadz biggest singles to date 'METROPOLIS' and "The Tree Knows Everything"feat Everything but the girl were part of what made this a true timeless artist dnb album. Like many of the nascent dance music genres, a lot of drum and bass can get boring quickly. Adam F avoids this by mixing in interludes without the beats, or with short tracks that mix into one another. The beginning of this disc is particularly good.It's also not too scary or anything - the kind of drum and bass you can enjoy at home with a long, thick burning stick of Humboldt county green bud.
