It's a perfect chill-out record, readymade for a sunny day or starry night, and it straddles the line between evolving style and signature sound brilliantly.
-
In a Space Outta Sound eschews froth - and a whole lot more - in favour of a minimalist approach that is a return to the form of his 1990s output.
-
MojoA mixture of old-school smarts and mellifluous modernism. [Apr 2006, p.103]
-
In my experience, there have been few albums such as In A Space Outta Sound that I have heard within the realm of electronica, where a musical palette was spread so broadly while still managing to sound like part of the same project.
-
As with past NoW releases, In a Space Outta Sound boasts an emphasis on sound architecture that requires expensive stereo equipment (or bucket loads of narcotics) to fully appreciate.
-
Outta Sound shows a passionate and maturing George Evelyn that still had much to offer.
-
UncutSmoothes the edges between Jamaican sound-system bass, calypso rhythm, Middle Eastern melody and vintage soul. [Apr 2006, p.110]
-
UrbSome of the rawest sounds of his career. [Apr 2006, p.90]
-
Sadly the two best (read: different) tracks come at the end, a shame because you'll have probably put on something closer to actual music by then.
-
But for every misstep early in the album, the final tracks deliver a compelling argument in favor of Evelyn’s continued creative relevance.
-
Under The RadarIn A Space Outta Sound spits some pretty standard jazzy hip-hop sounds, but for a lazy Sunday afternoon it could serve as a funky, stony soundtrack. [#13, p.98]
-
Q MagazineA feeling of "not a lot happening" pervades. [Apr 2006, p.118]
-
MagnetThere are but three words to describe the sixth album from [Nightmares On Wax]... "repetition"... "derivative"... "listless."[#71, p.108]
