Jumping right into it, the opener of this album Four Tet Voices from the Dustbowl is a nice pop dreamy downbeat track. The basic sound of this first song continues as the theme for the whole disc. Soundtrack-like soundscapes that remind you of a young John Barry. Fragile State is Neil Cowley, keyboarder with Zero 7, and Ben Mynott, a music journalist with the Blues and Soul Magazin. That also might explain why the debut-album from Fragile State was voted Downtempo album of the Year 2002 in the B Magazine. But rightously so; the music is of high quality and can compare to similar acts like Thievery Corporation easily. It shoud also be mentioned, that Ben Mynott has a CD-Compilation titled Just Got Home: Fragile State that he put together and has been released. Songs included are from The Egg, Thievery Corporation, and Cocteau Twins. -c- ToxicTwinz
