JASPECTS - Polkadotted Stripe (2009)

There's plenty to love in the music of Jaspects, a groove that's fresh, instrumentation that's real, and a solid, soulful sound all the way through!! The group have a wonderful way of mixing Jazz with heavier rhythms, a dose of Hip Hop production, yet never in ways that kill the instrumental sensitivity of the group, nor the warmer Soul of their lyrics. Keyboards figure heavily on most numbers, bumping along with the beats, but always keeping things cool, and there's kind of a slow-bubbling groove to the record that makes for a real change from other sets of this nature. Things are somewhat more cosmic than before, yet never too spacey, and the set marks a great leap forward for the group, who should hopefully reach a big new audience with this release!!
