Creating Patterns

Creating Patterns

2006 expanded reissue of this album by 4Hero (AKA Mark Mac and Dego), originally released in 2001. Features bonus tracks. Never ones to let the grass grow under their feet, the original UK drum and bass pioneers 4Hero's adventures in sound have thrown up some of the most original and enthralling dance floor excursions of the past few years. The tradition continues with Creating Patterns, as the pair explore Latin rhythms, Eastern and African sounds whilst intertwining both electronic and live acoustics with the vocal talents of some amazing guest artists. 'Time' features the earthly tones and lyrics of Ursula Rucker, Jill Scott is taken into 4hero's world of futuristic soul, jazz and drum and bass on 'Another Day' and the unmistakable soul-folk tones of Terry Callier on 'The Day of the Greys'. Undoubtedly a future award nominee, 'Creating Patterns' shapes up like an international winner. Mercury.
