it's over 4 years since dominic jacobson aka modaji released his
first music onto a black music world still recovering from the
fallout of that horrifying genre: acid jazz!
fusing techno effects, jazz keys and tight latin rhythms but with
soul at the heart of each track, each new instrumental track was a
revelation. props came thick and fast from (amongst others) carl
craig, 4 hero, gilles peterson and ashley beedle for finally
making the music that had everything we'd been looking for; in
short, if modaji didn't exist, you'd have to invent him.
nobody expected what happened next; an album not of instrumental
workouts but of fully formed, world-class soul songs. modaji had
upped the ante and gone to the next level, creating beautifully
crafted music and verse, making a minor classic in the process.
but what of those 12 inch singles? the pre-album jaw droppers that
gave modaji such a following? fear not, here they all are,
gathered on one cd and sounding as fresh as ever. each track is a
little reminder of how music can seriously appeal to all just by
it's sheer quality (now there's a thought...). the original
pre-sets has only been available in japan before and features 3
previously unreleased tracks (latin protocol, riot act and
midnight plains).
