Klute - No One's Listening Anymore

Too much to review individually. Pretty good album overall although I was a little disappointed. I've heard such good tunes from Klute I expected too much here. That said, there are still some amazing tunes that make the whole album worth the buy. "Never Ending" is an incredibly complex track with offbeat drums and beautiful vocals. "I'll Do Anything You Want Me To" is a hypnotising breaks tune I would definitely play out if I ever spun breaks. "Acid Rain", although very sad, is a powerful drum and bass track. "Second Skin" and "Saviour" are other standout tunes. I used to like "Losing You" but it got repetetive after a while.

Overall a good album. I spin some of this out occassionally, but mostly just listen to it in the car on long drives. The whole thing has a sad sound to it, but as Klute explains in the liner notes, he prefers the bittersweet beauty of melancholy. I do too.

In my humble opinion this is Klute's best work yet. He's molded his style into something very Klutey, even more songbased than predecessor 'Lie Cheat & Steal'. Every track is killer and the collaborations don't disappoint ('Losing You' is funkeee!).

The second disc is brilliant in its own special way and a more chilled affair. Klute shows here he can write tuneful songs regardless the format or genre. The two discs are equally great. Dig the deep drums.
