Another landmark recording, broadening the scope of Fourth World from the cosmopolitan to the metropolitan. Voiceprint and In the City of the Red Dust take the vernacular of hip hop and run it through the Hassell blender, with nods to Public Enemy and Herbie Hancock's Rockit. Mombasa threads trumpet wails over fast-paced percussives like a night-time car journey through crowded city streets. Astoundingly inventive, brilliantly arranged and produced.
