Linkwood/Greg Foat – Linkwood & Foat

Description

Jazzman Greg Foat is a born collaborator. In fact, in the last three years alone he’s recorded and released four albums alongside regular studio partner Warren Hampshire. Here he adds another musical accomplice to his bow via a first joint full-length with Firecracker Recordings regular Linkwood (real name Nick Moore). It’s a remarkable album, not least because it cleverly combines Moore’s intergalactic electronics, deep house-influenced grooves, Balearic dub basslines and wide-eyed ambient motifs with Foat’s jazz, jazz-funk and library music inspirations. It’s undoubtedly more akin to Moore’s output than Foat’s, but that’s no bad thing. Crucially, it’s a superb album and one we’d heartily recommend.
