Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Julius and Blackie's debut longplayer starts off deceptively with the bugging hyperkinetic bounce of "Biological Break" and eases into the arid dark skank of the Benjamin Zephaniah collaboration, Theatricks. Scary stuff. Don't let that put you off however, because Kinobe shine with a more exotic and feel-good sheen elsewhere. Their previous 3 EPs on Pepper were all lush sonic imagings that floated in bluesy and warmer musical waters. After the aforementioned opening confusion, every track on Soundphiles is tailor-made lush soundtrack material--Kinobe never stray too far from the visual ethic. This record is perfect headphone food for daily travels across towns, cities and beyond. The highest points: "Hammock Island" and the Englebert Humplerdinck sampling "Slip Into Something More Comfortable" (with vocals by Ben and Jason) need little explanation as to their chill-out destination. This is the most essential downtempo gem of the summer. I'll have two please. --Dan Stacey

If you like Air, Groove Armada, Alex Gopher or even the first Stone Roses album then you will love this album. In my opinion there are only 2 poor tracks, whilst the rest are all amazing. Grass Roots Horizon is my personal favourite sounding like a 21st Century remake of Minnie Rippertons "Loving You". Skyscraper is another stand-out track which is absolutely sublime. Buy this album and it will last you for ever (or at least until the next Air album is released!)

This is the best album to chill to I've ever come across. Admittedly the first couple of tracks don't quite fit in with the mellow feel of the rest of the album. The Biological Break sounds like the Midfield General and Theatricks sounds like a Happy Mondays B-Side although both funky in their own way. However Hammock Island, Skyscraper and of course Slip Into Something (vocal & instrumental versions) are stunning. Slip.. especially is one of those songs that you never want to end. If you buy this album you will never feel unhappy again!

A few months ago I bought KY by LemonJelly. When I got it home, as well as the LemonJelly CD, this Kinobe one was in there too. I thought "cool - a free CD" and that was it.
Well, the other day I finally got round to listening to this, and was so glad that I did. You can stick your Chilled in Ibiza compilations etc, because this is the ultimate chill-out album. Perfect for a warm summer's evening and a laid back drink with your mates.

A classic cd. Track 3 is very reminesscent of miles davis middle section of "peace" from in a silent way. This cd goes beyond the end of miles davis life and music. Read more

Not quite John Barry..........
I purchased this cd on the strength of the infamous Kronenberg ad which I thought was terribly exotic and kinda nice (the track, not the ad!). Read more
