Collection of Sounds Vol. 4 [Blue Vinyl]

Ant - Collection of Sounds Vol. 4 [Blue Vinyl]

Legendary producer Ant, best known for his work with Atmosphere, proves once again how irreplaceable he is with Collection of Sounds: Vol. 4. This latest release showcases the lifetime of dedication behind his craft, blending his unparalleled skills with a fresh, expanded vision.

With previous volumes in the Collection of Sounds series, Ant has traced his musical evolution, spanning hip-hop, funk, reggae and more, all influenced and inspired by extensive travel dating back to his youth. Vol. 4 deepens this exploration, introducing rock-inspired elements-guitars that wail, gnaw, and groove-while maintaining his signature sound. Despite these genre experiments, Vol. 4 is firmly grounded in hip-hop. The opening track, "Hearing In Dark Colors," sets the tone, evoking long drives up desolate highways in the dead of night. Tracks like "Created With a Heavy Brush" and "Just Another Three A.M." reveal a mastery of diverse soundscapes, while the triumphant "Day After 2010" takes listeners on an unexpected journey. As the album circles back to hip-hop on tracks like "A Pinch Brighter" and "Prelude Revisited," it leaves listeners transformed, further solidifying Ant's status as a visionary artist.
