Smoke Signal by Computer Music

*The following review appeared in print issue 321 of Computer Music Magazine.

200+ live trip-hop drums, with loops running between 70-120bpm - full of organic grooves up for grabs, alongside more heavily processed beats. Percussion and fill folders get taken care of, as well as a nice set of hits, covering toms, crashes, snares and kicks.

The super plush studio kit at the heart of this smoked-out session gets well-placed mics point at it, and the steady hand of a tub-thumper with talent gets caught in the zone. Cool and considered stuff, perfect for Portishead aficionados and Massive Attack track fans in need of dope drums.

Score: 8/10
