Details: With musical credentials that most producers would kill for, the organic Breakbeat mastermind that is ILS really does not need an introduction! With early 12” releases on groundbreaking labels such as Good Looking Records and Mo Wax, ILS had his foot firmly lodged in the musical door from the off. Long Players on the pioneering Fuel Records (‘Idiots Behind The Wheel’) and Brighton’s number one imprint Marine Parade (‘Soul Trader’) led the path to his recent ‘Bohemia’ album on Distinctive. Which brings us to today...

For his new album ‘Paranoid Prophets’ ILS has reshaped his sound once again, drawing influence from right across the musical board. Soaked with his trademark choppy organic drums and low-end bass tones ‘Paraniod Prophets’ see’s ILS push his sound to a whole new level.

‘Hate Is An Illness (get well soon)’ lights the fuse, a lower tempo affair featuring vocals from Thalia and Vanessa Smith drifting over in a haze. ‘Everybody Needs A Shrink’ lifts the lid on Pandora’s box, tapping into the darker corners of the mind, leading us down the Breakbeat path... Next up ‘Broken Homes’ unleashes itself before vocals from Valkyrie soothe on ‘Hope And Torture’. Taking a turn to the darker side, ‘No Money on Trees’ haunts the soul with hypnotic strings and constricting verbs from Wonda. Dropping the vibes down, ‘Sleeping Village’ shows the musical diversity of ILS. ‘Burn Again’ clips at the heels and commands your attention, with ‘Always’ to round off the album, featuring the heavenly tones of Keatz, to send you gracefully into the night...
Rating: # / 10 – # Award
