Advantages: Some classic tunes and great live shows Disadvantages: Slightly let down by the hype
...dissapointed on 1st listen of sound mirrors. The album just doesn't seem to have any stand out tracks and it washes over you very quickly, not in a good way though, non of the tracks had hooks and some just droned me into the ground. I thought i would give it a second chance but after hearing it for the second time after 10 minutes i had had enough and it went in the never to be played again pile.

I have to say i was really looking forward to cold cuts new album. I had been to see them play live at creamfeilds where they blasted the crowd with their crazy breaky laptop music, joined with breath taking visuals and syncopated video "scratching". Its just a shame that there album didn't live up to the live show. I was truely dissapointed on 1st listen of sound mirrors. The album just doesn't seem to have any stand out tracks and it washes over you very quickly, not in a good way though, non of the tracks had hooks and some just droned me into the ground. I thought i would give it a second chance but after hearing it for the second time after 10 minutes i had had enough and it went in the never to be played again pile. This is a real big shame as there was a lot of hype leading up to the album and the live show was rocking, but when the red light is on it just does'nt sound the same.

Album Notes
DJs Matt Black and Jonathan More have garnered as much acclaim for their production and remix work under the name Coldcut as they have for the albums they've released on their groundbreaking Ninja Tune label. Such a resume makes Coldcut one of the prime movers in electronica, and 2006's varied, absorbing SOUND MIRRORS indicates nothing less. As per usual, Black and More lay down ambient textures, shuffling breakbeats, and elements that pull from dub, acid house, hip-hop, and everything in between. But what distinguishes SOUND MIRRORS from most electronica outings is the appearance of vocalists on nearly every track. The guests include John Matthias, Roots Manuva, Jon Spencer, and Amiri Baraka, among others, giving the effort an accessible, song-oriented pop edge that balances out its heady electronic pedigree.
