Be prepared to be swept off your feet with this set. I've never heard of James Holden before this Cd came to my ears trough one of my favorit internet radio,
it has one of those vibes that feel like a big deja-vu. It is composed of sweeping melodies and fluid beats. You feel lost in a symphony of sounds that mesh together seamlessly. I can barely hear the transition in between songs and before you know it you've blow through most of the set by the time you look at the current track that's being played.
Holden does a great job at mixing so many other elements and sounds that you'd be a fool to try and categorize this as anything other than brilliant.
James Holden Joins the upper echelon of electronic masters with this CD released in a series of other Balance CD's under the EQ label.
