Bonobo -Black Sands.

I'm so surprised how good this album is. Its really mature. Like compared to Bonobo's Animal Magic and Days to Come, this album is superior in my opinion. It is leaning towards more of the Eastern influenced melodies, part of me hopes thats just a phase thing. The eastern influences are often overdone and can become really bad. But so far, in this album its pretty tasteful. Right off the bat though with the Prelude you can hear the Eastern influence and its sort of a turnoff in my opinion. Once the next track comes up though, you'll be happy with it. Just go download it, why the fuck not right? I mean, its free? Might as well. I love Animal Magic, but its super depressing. Black Sands is a little more upbeat, more like a Blockhead album. Not really Unlce Tony's Coloring book upbeat, but not as depressing as Bonobo's other stuff.
