Commix - Call To Mind


When was the last time you listened to Call To Mind?

Go stick it on now.

Nearly four years after it's release, it still sounds absolutely amazing. Drum and bass has changed a lot since 2007, but Call To Mind still sounds incredibly forward thinking. From the huge dancefloor smashers of Be True and Satellite Type 2 to the more experimental Belleview and hippidy-hoppy Change, it's an album of fantastic diversity, which sounds just as good in the clubs as it does at home.

Stand out tracks have to be the wonderful 16-bit tinged Japanese Electronics, Emily's Smile, with its warm, winding strings and Strictly, which is so deep you can't see the bottom.

Whilst most D&B albums sound like a load of tracks stuck together on a disc, Call To Mind is one of the few D&B albums out there that really works as a complete package, without getting boring or losing focus on what it's supposed to be doing.

Just a shame that Talk To Frank isn't on there.
