Carboot Soul

Entertainment Weekly (5/7/99, p.64) - "...stacks live instruments onto found sound to produce a rich ambient-funk mix....tranquil grooves that will seep into your bloodstream like a mild narcotic..." - Rating: B+ Magnet (8-9/99, p.83) - "...CARBOOT SOUL is, again, just really good....[It] still has the bongs set on maximum stun....And this is what Nightmares on Wax does very well: making trippy rhythms to wind up an evening..." Muzik (1/00, p.69) - Ranked #6 in Muzik's "Albums Of The Year '99" Muzik (5/99, p.79) - 5 Stars (out of 5) - "...This is possibly the most beautiful album you'll hear all year, as welcome as the flowers in May..." CMJ (4/19/99, p.25) - "...an album that couples classic Quincy Jones inspired R&B vibes with a stony, laid back hip-hop attitude....a smooth luxurious ride through nu-soul territories, layering quiet, near-ambient melodies over sensual bass lines and languid rhythms..." Melody Maker (4/10/99, p.36) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...CARBOOT SOUL is that rare thing: a record, like the first Stone Roses album, say, that refreshes your soul and leaves you feeling strangely elated..." NME (Magazine) (5/1/99, p.39) - 7 out of 10 - "...a selection of loosely associated slow-burning jazz-hop artifacts....kinda seeps through and whisks you away to their sunny-side up galaxy of downbeats and afterglows..."
