Ant Collection Of Sounds Volume 4 Blue Vinyl Edition

Legendary producer Ant, best known for his work with Atmosphere, proves once again how irreplaceable he is with Collection of Sounds: Vol. 4. This latest release showcases the lifetime of dedication behind his craft, blending his unparalleled skills with a fresh, expanded vision.With previous volumes in the Collection of Sounds series, Ant has traced his musical evolution, spanning hip-hop, funk, reggae and more, all influenced and inspired by extensive travel dating back to his youth. Vol. 4 deepens this exploration, introducing rock-inspired elements-guitars that wail, gnaw, and groove-while maintaining his signature sound.Despite these genre experiments, Vol. 4 is firmly grounded in hip-hop. The opening track, 'Hearing In Dark Colors,' sets the tone, evoking long drives up desolate highways in the dead of night. Tracks like 'Created With a Heavy Brush' and 'Just Another Three A.M.' reveal a mastery of diverse soundscapes, while the triumphant 'Day After 2010' takes listeners on an unexpected journey. As the album circles back to hip-hop on tracks like 'A Pinch Brighter' and 'Prelude Revisited,' it leaves listeners transformed, further solidifying Ant's status as a visionary artist.
