Simon Green aka Bonobo is the mastermind behind 2001’s Dial "M" for Monkey, a chilled out, mood changing experience. Focusing more of the live performance this album has the feel of something from the 60’s, trip-hop and break beat elements mixed together with jazz, keeping a funky feel. I could play the album over and over again. The simple drum beats on tracks such as Noctuary and Nothing Owed take over and make you nod your head uncontrollably, these songs among others have a sort of hypnotising control over you. Mixing samples and live instruments the result is something very special and powerful, you will find your self coming back for more very often. A exceptional album a must have for anyone interested in this genre.
