waiwan - distraction
years ago got a tape with excerpts of this release on, wasn't too impressed. but recenty saw a promo copy for a couple of quid. the deal very laid-back smoky jazztipped hip-hop beats, no raps just the odd vocal sample. very downtempo (the phrase trip-hop can be applied here) first listening reveals it to be a good'un, although the second half does get a little too jazzy in parts, but the last track is stunning dark,film-noir hip-hop. well worth diggin' out
