Rob Gallagher, [ex Galliano] and Demus Harris a.k.a Two Banks Of Four deliver a truly sublime collection of post-modern blusey-soaked-soul and future club jazz biscuits. City Watching is an intoxicating electro-acoustic long-player that joins-the-dots between vocalists and musicians who provide the organic input of fat double bass riffs, strings, violins, reeds, piano, horns, guitar and turntables to counter the immense programming. "Skylines Over RoofTops", "Street Lullaby" and the version excursion of Mongo Santamaria's timeless classic "Afro Blue" are a collage of soul, jazz, dub, hip-hop and drum & bass remoulded for the 21st century. If you're a fan of Cinematic Orchestra, 4 Hero, Beanfield, Jazzanova or the whole European jazz renaissance then this will be right up your street. But ultimately, City Watching is modern-day classic that navigates through uncharted waters. It will no doubt leave a lasting impression in the same way producers like Smith & Mighty and Massive Attack altered the Britain's musical landscape. --Terna Heuston-Jibo
