Title: Out of the.....picture
Review: Over the past few years Matt seems to have lost nearly all his brilliance and genius in writing contemporary urban Jazz music so off-the-wall it could be a carpet. "Out of the Dark" nothing but confirms this. Gone are the days of Matt's melodic & rhythmical wizard-performances of tracks like "Crazy" or "29/8"- and here are the days of run-of-the-mill computer-loop drum'n'bass muzak. Weep, we shall, and hope we will be spared another musical insult by this (lost) genius.So, in a nutshell: If "The Rough & the Smooth" is your Outside-benchmark you ought to stay clear of "Out of the Dark". But if anything from "Discoveries" onward is then I guess you ought to have this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
