davinche's album is coming out next month. i heard some of it and um, its pretty mixed. some really bad attempts at trying to almost improvise on top of the beats that falls flat, a lot of the beats seem to be typical 8 bar stuff (ive never really listened to his instrumentals before so cant comment on whether hes altered them for this or not) but then out of nowhere, he throws in some weird sub-classical motif or something to vary it, but it just sounds totally random and in need of better arrangement/structure. it has some good beats as you might expect, but after a while his signature trick of those big bombastic kick drums gets a little samey. this is the first all instrumental grime album though as far as im aware, so maybe this will convince other producers to do the same. not totally sure just how well grime beats will stand up without an MC though for a whole album (much as i like listening to certain stuff from wiley, wonder, terror danjah etc).
so in conclusion (i think i might need to hear it properly though), this isnt exactly like say, the instrumental parts of timeless or the 2nd disc of talking pages.
