 People Under The Stairs The Next Step LP

People Under The Stairs have a nice flow with some good lyrical content - couple that with very tight production with a laid back style but with deep hooks and you have (hey presto) a release with proper head nod prowess. The tracks run into each other with a nice tightness n' super cutting and the album as a unit works wicked. As usual - I like some tracks heavily (Hardcore, The Next Step II, Ten Tough Guys) and not others with as much gusto (Death of a Salesman, Slow Bullet - although its still blinding...actually yeah it is...) but I can't argue with myself that as a debut release this crew have got amazing potential - as this record has a lot of class and errrm (damn I can't think of a better word for the mo') maturity bashed all over it. Nice usage of proper dollops of bass make this an easy n' sweet treat to swallow whole. Basically as the outstanding outro track flows "Play it Again" - and indeed I have played it over again and analysed it - and my Doctoral prognosis.....most TASTY indeed thanks! Glad they sold their sound equipment to press up these LP's. Blinding. Oh yeah PUTS - its a funny mock-creepy film n' all!
