GLIDEASCOPE

Glideascope tangles computers, intriguing samples, and orchestral composition to make music for this digital age. With sounds as lush as classical composer Pachelbel on one track and up tempo Jamaican Patois vocals driving the next, this is a true kaleidoscope of sound. Check out these reviews:
  • Glideascope has done something real special. Something the world of beats and bass could do with more of. A globally in touch moment of bliss that will enhance what ever state of consciousness you're in right now. ~DJ Magazine
  • Glideascope's debut album is a sound clash of downtempo beats, African and Indian folk music, dub reggae the roots of hip-hop and cinematic strings. ~Hi-Fi Choice
  • The album's widescreen blues is reminiscent of Massive Attack and Glideascope is able to navigate a coherent, engaging passage through the familiar sounds of the 21st century global village. One of the most evocative albums you're likely to hear this year. ~Metro, UK
