Nightmares On Wax - In A Space Outta Sound - Album Review

"In A Space Outta Sound" is the 7th album of British digital music artist Nightmares On Wax aka George Evelyn.

The faint soulful vocals, wacky little soundeffects, and reggae kind of 'trippiness' add to its easy vibe, imparting a breath of sparkling air mixed with lazy afternoon sunshine.

"The Sweetest" introduces a more edgy and cool sound, proposing to raise the roof off of your and your neighbours's residence with its deep bass and fats beat. "Flip Ya Lid" starts with a seemingly chaotic whistling, changing into a hip hop kind of track that is relatively contrary to the atmospheric beginning tune because of its lyrics-orientated vocals and slightly rappy sense.

Beginning with the drum brushes, a sharp horn phase riff enters that fuels the exceptionally sounding groove until the end of the music.

It is some other outstanding example of the minimalistically repetitive yet charming nature of George Evelyn's song.
