Peshay - Miles From Home

nmte, Aug 16, 2007

This is the long-anticipated album by Peshay which pulls together a previously released track (Vegas), a few tracks that were sitting on dubplate (Switch, Retro) and a couple of interesting downtempo and dnb collaborations. I feel that MFH both lacks cohesion as an album and signals a departure from the dramatic, breaks-oriented production sound that he developed for Metalheadz, GLR and Reinforced in the mid-90s. Just listen to the track The Real Thing (Mo Wax) or Psychosis (Metalheadz) to hear the difference. Nevertheless, there are some bold new sounds here including some interesting breakbeat experiments with great vocalists, namely Truly (with Kym Mazelle) and End of Story (with J-Live).
