Architects of "chill-out" before the term even existed, Nightmares On Wax--the nom de stoned of Leeds-born ex-raver George Evelyn--have ploughed a long and lazy furrow through the genres of reggae, hip-hop, world music and soul in search of the perfect lull. Like the United Kingdom itself, Nightmares’ fifth album In A Space Outta Sound is a composite of diverse, often exotic geography, but importantly never sounds like a work of cultural tourism: on "Damn!", a devious snake charmer’s melody weaves almost subliminally beneath gentle, trippy gospel chorusing, while on "African Pirates", cyclical percussive rhythms meld seamlessly with white-gloves acid blips and honking dub bass.
What sidetracks your attention from these rather ambitious splicings is Evelyn’s talents for melody and repetition–the showtune horn-screech of "Pudpots", those sweet snatches of vocal that roll around in "Deepdown"’s Balearic tide--subtly working their way into your consciousness with blissful conclusion. Forget the young pretenders of chill like Zero 7 and Mylo, In A Space Outta Sound confirms Nightmares On Wax remain on a plane of their own.
