4.0 out of 5 stars Adds more to the Breakbeat template than most....(4.5 stars), January 9, 2004

When anyone thinks of a pioneer within the `Intelligent Drum `n' Bass genre, you be forgive for naming "Ltj Bukem" as your obvious choice. Yet 4 Hero deserves nearly as much Kudos as Bukem as they produced their first album way back in 1991 ("In Rough Territory") creating funky breaks, with smooth Drum `n' Bass which included downtempo Electronica to marvellous effect. At it was this album "2 Pages" (along with their best album "Parallel Universe") that they really find their stride as this effort oozes confidence & style....and finding their own market of fans, without having to appeal to fans of Ltj bukem (in fact its entirely possible that you can appreciate their work or become a fan, without being a fan of Ltj Bukem). And at 19 tracks long, there's going to have to be some seriously good content to keep (at hold) the listeners attention.....luckily such worries needn't be a worry as they have all the bases covered from Dancefloor grooves, Melodic Electronica, funky Breakbeat, Intelligent Drum `n' Bass, and with several guest vocalist providing more than ample support and track 11 "Star Chasers" more than emphasises how Vocal Breakbeat tracks in the hands of a capable producer can produce music as beautiful as one would expect from a Soul / Ballard Track...(admittedly this is backed up by a sterling arrangement of Trombones, Cello's, Trumpets, Piano & Volin. So far in fact, that although not recognised as widely, as the bone as fide classics of mr Bukem's best works, It undoubtedly a richer and (whisper it) more melodic / Beautiful sounding album???

5.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT easy listening., August 13, 2003

And it is only boring if you are spiritually anesthetized. The D'n'B purists will gripe, and the listeners with gnatlike attention span will carp about being 'bored' but don't listen to them.

This is music for people who are still ready to be surprised by music.

Other reviewers have commented on the lush strings, inventive programming and soulful vocals. I will simply add another endorsement to the pile.

Let the naysayers have their say, by all means, but do not deprive yourself of one of the most moving, beautiful albums of the last decade.

'Nuff said.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Album, September 1, 2004

Words cannot express how much I love this album! I didn't catch on to 4 Hero until I heard them on Jill Scott's Experience album in 2001 with the single "Another Day/Gotta Get Up". Since then I have made it a quest of mine to have everything released by this talented duo. Two Pages, is really one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had listening to an album as a whole, every song is perfect, and complemented by the tracks surrounding it. Do yourself a favor and, a get a hold of this Drum n' Bass masterpiece.
