Man in the Shadow

Snooze: Dominique Dalcan.The Man in the Shadow introduces Snooze's innovative and evocative mix of breakbeats, jazz, ambient, and even classical elements. The title track, "Middle Class Lady," and "The Snooze Theme" have a certain air of mystery about them that seems to allude to something half-forgotten. "Tribute to Horace" features the crooning of Horace Andy and a sample of Massive Attack's "Hymn to the Big Wheel." The album grows increasingly ambient toward the end, with the last two tracks remixed by Fila Brazilia. Cinematic, stylish, and sensual. ~ Heather Phares
