"Colours Two is the long awaited follow-up to Circulation's debut album some three years prior. Paul Davies and Matt Jackson a.k.a. Circulation have spent much of that time touring the world, which is much of the reason there was a three year gap between their albums. Two Colours has been well worth the wait.This album presents a good variety and outstanding flow from beginning to end. Terracotta eases you into the album with some very smooth ambient tones blending seamlessly into Chocolate. Chocolate (the first one, this title actually appears as both track 2 and 6, starts to turn up the tempo a bit but still maintains some ethereal tones and overall soothing vibe.The pacing of this album is a topnotch journey well worth experiencing. You will be taken from ambient, to down tempo, to dance floor hits and back down several times before this album ends. Most of the action takes place in the middle of the album starting with Vanilla and blending into Topaz, which would do Oliver Lieb proud, followed by a very funky Cherry. Taupe is a bit of a breather and is more of a down tempo track with some piano and guitar. After a clean break, the best one-two punch of the album comes with Emerald and White. Nothing less than topnotch dance floor tracks here.The album ends with a cool down Aqua and then finally a very ambient Sepia. This is a journey you will be sure to want to repeat again and again. Every single one of the tracks is at the very least good and the vast majority are great to killer! If you like dance/electronic music in any way shape or form, you should definitely get a copy of this album. It's highly recommended and one that's well worth paying the premium for importing, if applicable"
