E-Z Rollers - Weekend World [Japan]

E-z Rollers' sophomore album explores territory much closer to the jazzy coffee-table side of drum'n'bass than the group's previous output. The beats are mostly simple two-steps, though the background effects and basslines are quite strong, whether on vocal tracks like "Tough at the Top" or rougher tracks like the tech-step roller "Soundclash." The final result is a good blend of jungle's lighter sound with the occasional darker texture. [Weekend World is also available in an import release.] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
