It will take a few more listens to determine whether this album is a stroke of genius or an exercise in over-ambitious self-indulgence.

I love the first Amplifier album and feel it is severely under rated, yet the second album didn't do a whole lot for me and I did hear rumours that they had split soon after but they are back. Have a link spare?

more chill electronic goodness

if you've heard Bonobo's newest, you'll know Bajka's voice from tracks such as Days To Come and Walk In The Sky.
this, her solo album, is a jazzy downtempo piece with a similar feel.

I am liking what you are posting here. Especially like Bajka. As you say, her work on Bonobo's Days To Come album is really good. Top post
