Future JuJu [Numphonic, 1998]

Brilliant work from the hands of Ashley Beadle -- one of the UK's best young producers, and a skillful artist who's steeped in tradition, and can actually show it (which is more than we can say for most of his contemporaries!) The core of the music is a blinding sense of underground house, but there's complicated passages of jazz and jungle that run through the mix, elements of cross-cultural musical explorations, and dark soundscapes finely tuned electronics.
