I would loosely describe this Chris Joss release as being uptempo electro funk. One of the most impressive features of the album is that Joss played almost all the instruments himself and is clearly a very talented performer. There are definitely elements of porn groove, blaxploitation and Northern Soul on offer and the way the tracks come together does lead me to make comparisons to another talented multi-instrumentalist Shawn Lee. The album really takes off from "Keep On Digging" onwards with the zenith coming on the frantic breakbeat and organ grooves of "Backbeating". I do wish that some of the tracks had a deeper bass sound but apart from that it's great, well composed music that at the very least demands a good deal of foot tapping.

Very nice! You're right that it invites comparisons with Shawn Lee, though, to me, this has a sound that's more full. Ah, what the hell, they're both fun. Thanks!
