Changes CD

Heiner Kruse has been rolling out razor sharp drum & bass on his Basswerk label since the turn of the century. His third studio album "Changes" finds him teaming up with long time collaborators Kingz, creating a heady brew that spans trip hop, downtempo, snappy tech step and more atmospheric pieces in between. The likes of "We Keep Destroying The World" and "Sincere" may have plenty of bite, but they're still executed with a smooth, smoky finish that makes this fine home listening material too. Kingz takes a socially conscious approach to the lyrics which suits the moody atmosphere, rounding out another fine turn from one of Germany's leading exponents of deep D&B.
