Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Adrian Younge | The Midnight Hour
Linear Labs
According to Daryl McIntosh: “The arrangement and composition of the album is flawless, making it highly fluid and difficult to pinpoint its brightest of consistently bright moments. The Midnight Hour is a prime example of how to expertly construct a great album with a multitude of different voices and influences, taking cues from its predecessors the 1997 Love Jones Soundtrack and Robert Glasper Experiment’s Black Radio (2012). This an album good enough to be purchased in multiple formats, download for the car to escape the strains of post-work traffic or add to an impressive vinyl collection to accompany a stay-at-home date night. I expect it to stay in my personal rotation for the duration of 2018 and very easily for years to follow.”
