It's a pity that Beaumont Hannant's _Tones_ was never released, because if _Notions of Tonality, Vol. 2_ is any indication, it would have been a stormer. "Sprint (A83 Mud)" is reminiscent of "Psi-Onyx," but much tighter and slightly scarier with its disembodied tones like ghostly voices. "Broken Love" continues with the solid beats, sonically dense and foreboding. “It's So Cold Here" slows down to a shuffle, with the accompanying icy tones, and “A Coffee With Benson” has a haunting, dreamlike quality. Though _Tones_ may be lost to history, I'll certainly take what I can get off this EP.

This is a record in my collection that i really love its not very trendy anymore but in my opinion the music is wonderful, it speaks for itself. The Outcast mix (Beaumont Hannant's own version) on the A-side is the track that means most to me, floating mushroom music. i guess this is a deep house record its instrumental, and brilliant it goes on just long enough ! people just dont really make music like this anymore. This track alone makes me want to mix records together a lot. Thankyou Beaumont Hannant you are one of the true pioneers or British 90's electronic music. i just wrote that whilst listening to it again, Thanks Mr Hannant.
