720___Beats and loops composed before Mr Hopkinson even met Mr Stoloff, however they fused so well with another pre-composed piano piece by the latter gentleman that the partnership was sealed. A dense overwhelming piece resulting from the layering of already complex work which seems to grow with repeated listening. Note the usually cheesy "you make me feel so good" sample here literally twisted round to become "you are a slave near me" in this dark tale of obsession and addiction. |

Yacht ___The Japanese need a backer and here it is - the sound of the sea and a deceptively sunny feel hiding a dark desperate story. Many delicious breaks are woven together to build a lavish bed for Mr Stoloff and Mr Hopkinson's combined multi-lingual microphone manoeuvres. |

Nubo___The beats appear from seemingly nowhere, pitch shifting in and out of perception, like colourful abstract shapes melting into familar forms as the camera pulls into focus. Is that a drum or a fractured digital hum? A prickly urgent rush that could only come from the digital domain yet is undeniably warm, witty and human. |
