RecommendSome may remember techno godfather Gerald Simpson from a few years back and his drum and bass release, Black Secret Technology. This time around Gerald is shooting for more of a jazzy, sexy feel in the vein of 4hero. Breakbeats are still abundant on here but Simpson relies alot on the beautiful voice of UK diva, Wendy Page, to provide many of the sexy vocals contained within. Also included are vocals by Lamb's own Louise Rhodes, featured on one of the albums best tracks, "Humanity". Lady Keir (ex-Dee-lite) is showcased on "Hurry To Go Easy". If the vocals don't do it for you you will have to listen a little closer to the complex arrangements. Take for instance "Final Call", one of the albums best instrumental tracks. Gerald provides something for everyone on Essence and also proves that his production skills are still very relevant. A trip very much worth taking.
