Popis - SOUND MIRRORS: DJs Matt Black and Jonathan More have garnered as much acclaim for their production and remix work under the name Coldcut as they have for the albums they've released on their groundbreaking Ninja Tune label. Such a resume makes Coldcut one of the prime movers in electronica, and 2006's varied, absorbing SOUND MIRRORS indicates nothing less.
As per usual, Black and More lay down ambient textures, shuffling breakbeats, and elements that pull from dub, acid house, hip-hop, and everything in between. But what distinguishes SOUND MIRRORS from most electronica outings is the appearance of vocalists on nearly every track. The guests include John Matthias, Roots Manuva, Jon Spencer, and Amiri Baraka, among others, giving the effort an accessible, song-oriented pop edge that balances out its heady electronic pedigree.
