Following up the universally impressive & ambitious Breakbeat / Electronica "Two Pages" that was released in 1998 and became something of a underground classic, was never going to be easy proposition. And for the 2001 follow-up, rather than retread the breakbeat patterns of the last album, in a climate where musical genres has shifted focus, they have instead (in theory) built an album of Nu-Jazz / Broken Beat experiments, with a impressive collection of vocalists to bring these tracks to life.

For those worried that this emphasis on vocalists meant, that there wasn't going to be the sublime instrumentals that 4-Hero do so well, need not worry. because tracks such as the skittering and gracefully freewheeling efforts such as "Conceptions", "Something Nothing" & " "Eight" retain that reliably earthy & elaborate organic sound that 4-Hero are applauded for. But it must be said that as excellent as these tracks are, the vocal collaborations are the highlights here....

"Time", featuring "Ursula Rucker" plays to the strengths of what she does best, and that's to put spoken word & socially aware wordplay to the backing of minimal jazz arrangements. Uncompromising, intense and Cerebral. It's heady music for sure, and is as intense as hell. But props to 4-hero, for not being tempted into making track resembling aural wallpaper, with inane diagloue planted over the top.

"Another Day" sees the music move subtly from the more moodily constructed beats of "Time" into something more elegant & smooth Nu-Soul referencing.

the evolution of 4 Hero is very interesting. some have said they get more commercial, i don't think its fair. agreed, this is not drum and bass as we knew it. but 4 Hero (check out what they do under the Tek 9 name as well) has always been a step ahead of the competition. like in 2 Pages, they use violins and other acoustic instruments. but there is more variety on Creating Patterns. It's been the only disc in my cd player for 5 days...

This is how modern, discerning dance music should be made today. 4 Hero managed to create a complex, colorful, sometimes overwhelming, universe of sounds & musics, that is totally satisfying for beatheads and admirers of quality cross-over jazzy music alike. If you are, or you've ever been, into quality black music you'll definitely love this work. If only more 'electronica' artists could make more music like this...

This English duo have produced quite a vast album here,with many musical influences that makes this album very difficult to categorize.Unlike other duos like Groove Armada,Zero 7 and Kinobe they seem to work quite differently in that they rarely write any of the tracks together.There are some simlilarities to those groups I've just mentioned-but the main difference would be that this c.d. is far less dance oriented and veers more to a type of classical meets acid jazz.You can also add a fair dose of soul which comes via some of their marvellous guest vocalists.
The album opens with a very ambient,chilled out track which seems to mix jazzy sounds to Indian sounds courtesy of the fact that they use tambura,tabla and Indian harp,which are amazingly well played by session players.The strings are delicate and quite understated and it's a very gentle opener.The mood remains pretty much chilled out for the second track-drum and bass beats,more wondrous strings and a soulful dialogue from Ursula Rucker.Many of the tracks on this c.d. are pretty long and track 3 comes in at nearly 7 minutes.The funky build up is very gradual and it soon paves the way for an even funkier dance track with Shirley Bassey like vocals.The synths are quite similar to a Jamiroquai sound."Twothesme" builds up very slowly like many of the tracks here.It's another instrumental track which has funky synths again being backed this time by very heavy 'phat' beats.Then after a while a really amazing brass section enters and this song really takes off and goes down a crazy meandering road of it's own and you're never quite sure where this track is going to end up.It's high quality stuff,but it's totally riveting.It's laidback but what appears like a contradiction the music keeps you on the edge of your seat.
