Moving onto another album im anxious to mention is 1984 by Alix Perez.

1984 consists of hip hop, liquid drum and bass and deep minimal sounds with amazing vocalists which i think are more than worthy of a mention.

Based upon a deeper sound, the album opens up with the track '1984' and really shows a sound based on quite a personal level. Each track comes across with some form of emotion and I really enjoy how the album progresses with new genres being explored, whilst consistently keeping Alix's signature sound.
The second track The Cut Deepens really shows how well Alix can transition to other territories; hip hop in this case, and still produce a successful sound. Featuring 'Foreign Beggars' who I haven't heard before, the lyrical flow together with the agressive undertone really pulls it off for me. Will be looking into their stuffz soon no doubt!
Forsaken, definetly my favourite of the album really manages to compliment and balance the vocals using echo and light drums.
Im Free - quite an old tune now to be honest, had this one on vinyl for over 6 months or so. Nevertheless, its quite a deep sexy tune which I continue to rinse which gets me into a badman mood!
Finaly, the last tune I will mention is called Contradictions. a nice liquid tune with use of lovely piano chords.

Overall the album has been nominated as one of the best liquid albums of 2009 and Im pretty sure it would get my vote too.

Much love
