Recommendations
Reviews
- Good album from London Elektricity. A little lacking in cohesion, but the songs are top notch for the most part. Still with signature jazzy vibes, and a laid back but still tight breaks sprinkled around, the third outing by London Elektricity still shows why he should be running the monster Hospital label. Defintiely worth a listen for any electronic music fan.

All Hell Is Breaking Loose
Syncopated City Revisited - When you have an album start off with a cracking track such as "Bare Religion," you can only hope that the rest of it continues that quality. And does London Elektricity's SYNCOPATED CITY live up to the promise? Well, "This Dark Matter" sure does, with its heavy drums and moody vocals. "Just One Second" has a more upbeat vibe, and "All Hell is Breaking Loose" goes further in the happy direction. And something about the layering of vocal sounds on "Southeastern Dream" makes that track particularly blissful, as do the strings on "Point of No Return." When Liane Carroll takes vocal duties, she's quite reliable; Tony Colman's own vocals aren't as strong, however, and it shows. Still, when you have the instrumental bass-and-piano of "Uska," you tend to forget his vocals on the previous track ("Outnumbered") rather quickly. So on the final track, "Syncopated City Revisited," the syncopation comes into full-effect. You'll want to visit this city several times, I think.
