Albert's Favourites レコード& CD

Review: Although a drummer by trade (he's a member of the expansions and has previously played with the Gene Dudley Group and Andrew Ashong), Jonny Drop is also one hell of a beat-maker. He's previously proved that through occasional releases on Albert's Favourites and here confirms it via a brand new album that portrays him as a wizard with an MPC and a penchant for soulful, jazzy musicality. The Only Sound is chock full of highlights, from the inspired neo-soul bliss of "32 Degrees" and "The Looking Glass", to the sinewy broken beat brilliance of "Think It Over" and drowsy mid-afternoon shuffle of "All This Trouble".
