Editorial Reviews

This is quality dub with a generous topping of bass and lashings of pure melody. 'Smokers Delight' captures the essence of chilling out. A TVT Records release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sick of the radio?, February 12, 2002

Here's your album. Shut off that blasted FM and their inane lyrics and get down low with Nightmares on Wax. Everyone from your mom to friends will like this CD - at least, that's what happened in my case.

The smooth rhythms and beats will hit someone who hasn't heard trip-hop (sorry G. Evelyn) /acid jazzy stuff before with a big fist to the ear. Listening to the samples here on amazon may be okay, but to really get the experience you have to get the album and listen to it completely uninterrupted - once you do, you'll want to do it again, and again, and one more time. It's anytime music, good for doing homework to, washing dishes, or just relaxin'. Absolutely wonderful, I hope more people discover this sort of music.

5.0 out of 5 stars If they play music in heaven it has to be this..., September 5, 2000

I bought this CD in 1995 on the reccomendation of a Rastafarian shop assistant in London. All I can say is thanks.

This is quality dub with a generous topping of bass and lashings of pure melody. Try it out for size, impress your friends and family, educate your house pets and occasionally your neighbours...

Smokers Delight does what many artists have tried and failed to emulate, it captures the essence of chilling out. Yes, it's that simple. I'm so laid back now I can't finish this...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delight for Smokers and Non-Smokers Alike, January 14, 2002

I am a goddess...at least I was proclaimed to be one by the sales clerk at the record store where i bought this CD--without listening to it first!!(Actually it was my third copy...my backup was "borrowed" by a friend who neglected to return it)

I absolutely love this Disc...its one of the few on which i skip no tracks at all, even though track 3 makes me wish i were a pothead so i could enjoy it even more. standout work by G.Evelyn, Firth and collaborators. Standout Tracks include: Nights Interlude (check out the revamp on Carboot Soul as "les nuits"), Dredd Overboard, Pipes Honour, Stars, Cruise, Mission Venice, Rise (and its subsequent reprise) and Gambia via Vagator Beach (excellent percussion).

If you love music, and I don't mean mainstream pop/rock, but contemplative, intellingent, and mind-bending music, you will adore this cd. I have two copies. One for whatever happens to be my cd player at the time, and one stored in my handbag for emergencies. You will not regret buying this CD.
