When I read in the press release that Lanu is a member of The Bamboos I was expecting an album with killer funk anthems but I couldn’t have been further from reality. What we have here is some of the best house, broken beats and soul, that could be easliy be mistaken for some of the top producers in those genres. It just goes to prove it makes no difference what your background is: if you’re good you can do anything and Lanu does it with brilliance. You must check out the amazing Simon Grey featuring on keys on “Rise” and Cherie Mathieson on vocals “Runaway”. This album is certain to cause a frenzy in many scenes over 2007: don’t miss out.
