Albums The Hub

Press Reviews Chill Out @ In The Mix by Mikey G – reviews It's time to lie down and get down as Mikey G takes you on a monthly trip into the ambient zone with both new and classic chilled-out sounds. New Chill… Every once a while an utterly brilliant album comes along that defies categories and surprises you at every turn. The Hub (on Metatron Records thru Mute) by UK artist Max Jasper Mezzowave is that kind of album. It beckons and gently embraces you while slowly twisting your head inside out every time you hear it. There are some pop song structures with vocals and lyrics, but it’s all arranged quite unlike any pop music I’ve heard. There’s long, colourful passages of instrumental ambient sound and rich synthetic chords, but with no obvious roots in anything that’s come before. Add to that touches of white soul, drum ‘n’ bass, epic house, third world melodies…and it doesn’t stop there. The composer’s website at http://www.mezzowave.net is a remarkable piece of web design, a work of art in its own right and a sensuous treat for the eyes and ears. He promotes his site “super sensory chillout”. That phrase neatly sums up the liquid sounds of The Hub, too, one the of freshest pieces of contemporary electronica around right now. This is my Album Of The Year so far, and its going to take some beating. There’s no Australian distributor for this gem but you can buy it via the Mute Records UK website at: www.mute.co.uk/store.htm
