Don't Sleep

"This album will definitely fall through the cracks even though it's easily one of 2006's best releases. While DJ Shadow is running around out churning out hyphy garbage, Bonobo weighs in with this masterpiece, full of lush orchestrations, dope beats and excellent vocals. Days to Come gives you that late 90s trip-hop feel but with its own original twist and vibe - it's got more funk and less darkness. I'd say it's sort of like a combo between Quantic and classic DJ Shadow, with a little bit of Amon Tobin spookiness."
Excellent combo of Bonobo + vocals

"Just received this album from Ninjatunes label in the UK about a week ago, and have been listening constantly to this album! Have been a fan of Bonobo's previous stuff, but I must say Bajka's vocals have contributed considerably to this new album. Stand-out track has to be, "If You Stayed Over" featuring Fink. Perfect atmospheric mix of dark moods and instrumentals. And when you hit the 3:50 mark of "If You Stayed Over", be prepared for an utterly gorgeous instrumental segment.



If possible, try getting the copy of Days To Come that includes the bonus instrumentals disc that includes a great demo version of "Nitelite" and reprise version of "If You Stayed Over"."
I'd love it more if I didn't already know the rest of his st

"This album combines some of the classic instrumental/sample sounds of Bonobo that I have come to love with some new vocal tracks that take this album to a different direction. Days To Come marks a change for him as he has combined the use of samples, live musicians, and now vocals to construct his most unique album yet. Personally I have been drawn to his instrumental stuff and will probably continue to do so in the future. I feel the vocals, although beautiful, take the spotlight away from his ability to weave melodies and other sounds together. You can hear it behind the vocals, but I'd prefer them to be front and center.



But, he does come through with some nice instrumental songs. One fantastic example of this is "Recurring" which is an awesome song, but has now appeared in its 3rd album. I was shocked when I saw it added onto the end. Another is "Transmission94" which is a great tune but seems to be a little too long as it drags for the last couple minutes. Other high points include "Walk In The Sky" and "Ketto." Overall, if you are a fan of Bonobo its surely not to be missed but if you are new to his work I'd suggest "Dial M for Monkey" and pick up his shorter "Live Sessions" LP which shows a wonderful transition from studio to stage. Also you MUST get "One Off Remixes and B-Sides" Some of his best work appears on there as well as some nice remixes. Enjoy"
