The time Matt Chicione spent touring with Carl Craig’s Innerzone Orchestra has obviously had an effect, as this album is a lot more ‘live’ than 2002’s (excellent) Cardiology. But this is equally as good in its own way – from the poppy ska soul of ‘Mana’s Bounce’ through hyperactive jazz and disjointed funk of ‘Turkish Delight’, via numerous quality and original soul/jazz/funk numbers, this is a genuine artist album.
