   Unlike anything I have listened too, Talabot combines tribal nuances into a mysterious and dark electronic sound scape. Talabots sound is unique, and l the control which he exerts over his progressive rhythms and synthesizers is masterful. My favorite album of the year so far.… Expand

   I've never been a huge fan of house, but John Talabot has made an album that completely breaks down the barriers that I felt restricted house to begin with. This is much more than just a dance record. Fin has a dark undertone to the album, and every song has plenty of shifts and surprises. The songs blend together beautifully, and every track is unique in it's own way without sacrificing the cohesiveness of the album. I am a fan of electronic music, and there are certainly plenty of electronic elements to this album. It's dance music with an emotional punch, which is very hard to find. This album could be played at a club OR late night/after work when you just want to relax and chill out at home. Fin (and John Talabot for that matter) came out of nowhere, but I am instantly a fan. Frontrunner for album of the year so far, and the bar is set pretty high.… Expand

   "Fin" is the debut album by John Talabot. From Barcelona. Hause one. Excellent. What else can we say about it? Climate - it has - no doubt, but any description of electronic music is wrong - because this record can be assessed only after hearing a whole material. Each song is an accumulation of sounds which carry all sorts of emotions - sometimes they are slightly galactic compositions ("El Oeste", "Depak Ine"), sometimes they derive from other styles: from hip hop "Last Land", through ethnic "HORSE" or "Journeys" created in cooperation with Ekhi. On LP we'll find, of course strictly house compositions: great "Destiny", or "Sun Will Be Now" - both featuring Pional. Very solid debut.… Expand
