UNKLE レコード& CD

Review: Although technically James Lavelle and company's sixth studio album under the UNKLE alias, "The Road: Part II (Lost Highway)" is more of an odds-and-ends compilation than a straight-up studio set. According to the former Mo Wax chief, it was designed to sound like a free-flowing mixtape and makes use of tracks recorded during "The Road" sessions that never made it onto the main album. He also described it as a "road trip soundtrack", and it does feel a little like that, as Lavelle and collaborators flit between beats, soundscapes and different styles over the course of three action packed slabs of wax accompanied by an expansive booklet full of never-before-seen artwork.
