In between Bonobo's critically-acclaimed debut, Animal Magic, and Dial M for Monkey, Tru Thoughts decided to release this compilation of hard-to-find tracks from his early singles and remixes. The songs on this album capture many different moods and scenes, evoking wide swathes of differing emotions and musical styles (for example, check the Italian feel of 'The Sicilian' or the Arabian edge to the Monkey man's reworking of Amon Tobin's '4 Ton Mantis'). All the while though, the album retains a recognizable musical signature of its own: this balance between broad-minded eclecticism and a well-defined style gives some indication as to why Bonobo's music, as well as being critically lauded, has been licensed to over 50 compilation albums across the world, covering a variety of music scenes.
