While we don't have audio on this yet (soon come), we're told that this album definitely explores all facets of Alix' production, taking us from 140BPM downbeat ("1984") textures to cuts that combines the spoken word (featuring the mighty Ursula Rucker, Yungun and the Foreign Beggars), to the sounds that hooked you on Alix in the first place ("Contradictions"). "I'm Free", which dropped on Shogun Audio earlier this year as a teaser, has already gottenr ave reviews, and is included on the CD version. It's great to see that the vinyl pack features four tracks that aren't on the CD version - one will truly have to grab both versions to understand how Alix has grown during his 25 years on this planet (understand the title now?)... watch this space for an interview with Alix himself, where we'll try and dig deeper into the album. Until then - salivate!

lookin forward to hearing those tunes.

I'm sure as hell locking in 2 future purchases right there.

really liking 1984

vital elements just released a tune called 1984 on grid recordings

u dont wanna hear it

Says it all really...

Need to hear more of the album, from the 3 tunes on myspace It sounds like he's tended towards minimal stuff not the funk stuff he does so well.  Got high expectations for this album, hopefully it lives up to it!  

edit: forsaken is wicked
