Pressure Drop (1997)
"Elusive" is a mix of electronic, jazz, soul and classical instrument sounds, underpinned with the deepest darkest bass notes. These thread together the eclectic tracks in this collection like a gorgeous charm bracelet, but each track on its own is polished, sophisticated, and oozes quality. For me, the soundscapes powerfully evoke images: a quiet seascape at night ("Foetus"); a poem performed in a smoky basement lounge somewhere in the small hours ("Sounds of Time"); a jungly tropical island paradise in hot sun with crashing surf ("Dusk", anomalously).
As a whole, "Elusive" transcends anything of a similar genre - comparisons are useless, because quite simply it does everything better than everything else. It's a mystery why this album hasn't reached wider publicity. Beg, borrow or steal a copy of "Elusive" and savour the joy of having unearthed a secret gem.
