Even if you thought a sample was what you took the doctors in a little plastic pot, you need this absolute beast of an album.
Matthew Herbert has used a vast array of strange sounds - coffins, petrol pumps, meteorites, an RAF Tornado bomber to create his most ambitious release to date.
Scale is a hybrid product, using both man-made and natural sounds to create rhythms which encapsulate the best bits of jazz, disco, Latin and sensual house.
Tracks such as opener Something Isn't Right and up coming single The Movers And The Shakers stand out as instantly, attacking all your senses in one fell swoop.
A monster.
Released May 29 2006.
