Reviews
“an elegantly produced electronic jazz album of monstrous proportions” (Straight No Chaser)...”Huge contemporary jazz talent” (Wax)...
”Juryman’s star is on the ascendent” (Jockey Slut)...
”All the best bits of Gil Scott-Heron, Red Snapper and Ry Cooder rolled together...elegant, deep, complex and constantly surprising, ‘The Hill’ is the kind of album that will have Talkin’Loud wondering if their roster isn’t missing one genius” (Muzik)...
“Ian Simmonds fastens astral jazz to shimmering techno in a manner we’d previously relied on Carl Craig to supply. The Detroit deity may have a serious rival” (NME)
“One of the inventors of today’s sounds, alongside Moby, Tricky & Howie B" (Le Monde)
