5.0 out of 5 stars 10 awesome tracks., July 8, 2003

By	J. Curry (Southfield, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a fan of electronica music but with so many artists and sub genres to choose from its hard to know what to listen for. So I stumbled upon this CD via Comcast's electronica channel. The song "Inner City Winter" was being played and I was instantly hooked. So I bought the cd and it all sounds great. Each track sounds different from the other so it hops around music such as jazz or latin music or house style stuff. Most of the tracks are 6 minutes or longer and every track has a vocal on it from a female and male artist. This cd has its own groove to it and its hard to just listen to one song and not listen to a few more to round everything out. Its a great CD for electronica fans and good if u just want some chill out music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nu-Jazz meets Electro in Scandinavia, November 25, 2003

By	G.Freud (AMsterdam Netherlands) - See all my reviews

Art of no State, released on the ever interesting Freerange Label (owned by Jimpster, who has done some amazing remix work and production in the underground house scene over the past decade), offers a diverse listen, ranging from unbreidled electro to nu-jazz (not forgetting the Hammond organ of course). While not the most balanced of releases, and having some serious weak spots, the 10 tracks grow on you, making it on of those albums you can keep playing. Caution though, you will not be able to get the vocals of track 1 out of your head for a long long time!

3.0 out of 5 stars They're real, but they're not spectacular., February 28, 2007

By	M. Holtz "some guy" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking for the UK band with Chris James, whom I recently heard on DJ Shadow's latest, but mistook this album for that group.

The ambient/electronica/jazz mix is smooth and chill, the compositions are good and well produced. It's respectable, but not particularly spectacular.

Personally I feel artists like Zero 7, Esthero, Imogen Heap, etc. have done much better with their forays into this genre.
