 Rating: - Not what I'd "Aim" for (get it?)I'm a huge fan of Aim, and rushed out to get this album when it dropped. I was pleased to see that his laid back, head-bobbable beats are there in abundance, but hugely disappointed to find he'd left out the MC's! What's hiphop without an MC?! To be fair, however, the artist doing most of the vocals is very talented, and she complements the tunes perfectly with her soulful, almost jazz-like style. But it's a style I'm not fond of, and don't immediately associate with Aim. Had I listened to the album before purchasing I may have reconsidered and saved my cash for another day. This is a good album in its own right, but it's a good album in a different style to that which I thought I was getting, based on past experience. ... Read More: Rating: - Great lp, good progression..Aim's third album, Flight 602, hits us with something slighty different than his previous long players. Nothing drastically different however, in my opinion, with the exception of lack of emcee's (which as a pure Hip Hop fan, I have no problem with whatsoever), this is more of the same funky and melodic tunes we've come to expect. I find myself admittedly at this early stage of listening, to say this is his most complete album to date. Walking Home Through The Park, Aberdeen and the title track are standout tracks, and for anyone who owns Andy Turners previous albums, this should be a must buy. Rating:  - Summer sun or winter rain?It's funny what first impressions you get of things. I'd been waiting patiently for this third Aim LP to be released, after falling in love with Andy Turners first two albums. Albums that sound so unlike all the other hip hop albums out there, the hip hop albums that a fusion of Portishead and Massive Attack never made. Blissed out beats yet harsh overtones, haunting vocals and raps that know what they want to say but are in no rush to say it. Music that paints an uncompromising landscape but one viewed from inside, in the cosy warmth of your own home. Getting back to those first impressions. The first thought I got when seeing the cd cover was that the font was "soft", and that the picture was an altogether warmer affair than the previous scenes ... Read More: Rating:  - A Big Step In A New DirectionThat's really what Aim's new album is - most of his material prior to Flight 602 has been fairly passive stuff - nothing life-changing; just some chilled, soothing background tracks. When we get to the new album , however, Andy Turner seems to realize that he needs to start being taken seriously. And, after one listen, one cannot help but grant him this - Aim has completely dropped the rap elements that prevailed in his older work, and begun to create intricate compositions as opposed to his former, slightly formulaic background loops. The absence of rap on Andy's new tracks really helps his true musicality and potential shine through - overall, it's a fantastic work that far surpassed my expectations, and proves that Aim really is more than just a backing ... Read More: Rating: - What, no MC's?Mancunian beat wizard Andy Turner has gathered a favourable following with Aim's two studio albums and collected early works. Combining meaty beats, soulful, artfully placed samples and talented guest vocalists he has proved himself as one of Britain's best hip hop producers. His decision to drop the traditional vocal style associated with hip hop - rapping - from his new album entirely is a brave one nonetheless, and may cause concern among purists. Going solo from Grandcentral records, Aim's third LP proper is another exercise in squelchy bass, screaming horns and Turner's own impeccable feel for the funk, with labelmate Niko providing vocals. Without the emphasis on rhymes, his music is allowed to breath and expand naturally - as his best tracks ... Read More: |
