True Colours

A definitive blueprint for liquid drum and bass. High-speed breakbeats meet soulful disco samples and cinematic synths for a widescreen, nocturnal experience.

June 4, 2002 · Not On Label (High Contrast Self-released)

A high-octane blend of nocturnal melancholy and sunrise euphoria.

Moments Worth Listening For

The soaring, orchestral synth lead in 'Return of Forever' that feels like a sunrise breaking over a concrete skyline.

The infectious disco-house energy of 'Music Is Everything' where the vocal loop becomes a rhythmic instrument in itself.

The unexpected and beautiful integration of Bollywood samples in 'Full Intention' creating a cross-cultural psychedelic groove.

Reviews

AllMusic

Where This Album Departs

How does True Colours sound next to the rest of High Contrast's catalogue?

Drum Machine+1.4σ

The instrumentation foregrounds drum machine notably more than the catalogue usually does.
