On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year on the 16th June 2017. Which is called "The Journey Man" by a Drum N Bass artist called Goldie.
Goldie is a British Drum N Bass artist who has been in the music scene since the 90s this is his new album which he has not released since nearly 20 years. It is really good to see the king of Drum N Bass back. As a fan of Goldie I really enjoyed this album it is a Drum N Bass which gets the fans raving to this. Personally this could be the album in my top 10 best 2017 albums. The reason why I say this is because the genre of Drum N Bass is coming back and it is getting better. I first discovered Goldie from his debut album called "Timeless" which was released mid 90s in 1995. Timeless will always be one of the best Drum N Bass albums of all time."Inner City Life" will always be one of the best tracks on the timeless album. It is such a phenomenal track. It was such a good time during those years. Now days we do not see that many Drum N Bass albums being released which I think the genre is kind of underrated. However moving on to Goldie new album "The Journey Man". On this album there is a mixture of tracks with different genres which suggests that not all are Drum N Bass. These tracks include "Truth", "Tu Viens Avec Moi" and many more. these tracks are not Drum N Bass. The track Truth is a simple relaxing piano melody track for people to enjoy to listen to calm and peaceful music. And for the track "Tu Viens Avec Moi" is a sort of jazzy track which is influenced by Jazz. I really liked how Goldie wanted to try something different instead of sticking with one genre. This is defintley one of the best comeback albums from an artist who has not released anything nearly 20 years. All I can say is Welcome back Goldie.
Moving on to the tracks my favourite tracks on this album were. "Horizons", "Castaway", "The Mirrored River", "I Think Of You", "Truth", and "This Is Not A Love Song". The opening track of the album is called "Horizons". It is one of the best opening tracks to an album. I really liked how it reminds me of Inner City Life. The reason why I say this is that both tracks are the opening of Goldie albums "Timeless and "The Journey Man". The production on Horizons is really good it is one of the tracks that makes me smile. Suggesting that it is one the tracks that I really like. And I also love the vocals on the track "Horizons". Another one of my favourite tracks was a track called "Castaway". "Castaway" was an interesting track. The reason why I say this is because it reminds me of what a Basement Jaxx track sounds like. The track is more of a party kind of vibe it is also influenced by Carnivals as well. The track is really good the vocals are alright the production is fantastic. My other favourite track is a track called "The Mirrored River". The vocals on the track goes really well with the Drum N Bass production. Another one of my favourite tracks was a track called "I Think Of You". I love the build up to the track I love how the track starts. The production on this track is probably for me in my opinion one of the best Drum N Bass tracks of all time. This track will be talked about it a lot in the future. For the track "Truth" which is also one of my favourites such a relaxing calm peaceful music with a calmful piano melody. Lastly my last favourite track was "This Is Not A Love Song". Which was another calm track with a piano melody the vocals are really good on this calmful track. Moving on to my least favourite track on the album was a track called Prism. The production is alright but I feel like the build up should have been a bit better but overall it is an okay track.
Overall this is a fantastic album from Goldie I am really glad that he is back. I would defintley listen to this album again. Overall it is a 9/10
