Producer 05

They offered him several million pounds for his label a few years ago. He said: "no thanx!". The economic question is irrelevant. Good Looking Record is a way of life. The latest creation from its founder, made famous by the "Earth vol.1-5" compilations, is this album of B-sides, even though it is a "real" record, titled "Producer 05". Overall, it is weaker than the previous entry in the "Producer" series, but the album is still very listenable, revisiting the theme of Jungle infused with Jazz and RNB. The weakness lies in the fact that none of the tracks on the CD manage to display any flashes of genius or particularly successful sounds. The collective trumps individualities, yet the album is still beautiful. We point out a great version of the "Mission Impossible" soundtrack, although I couldn't grasp whether it was a remix, a cover, or a simple remake. Since "Earth volume 6" is set to be released in a few days, I recommend current curious listeners to wait.
