Product Description

CD Description

TURN THE DARK OFF is techno wizard Howie B.'s latest batch of electronic innovations for Island Records. A warm, dripping collage of beats and buzzing melodies unfolds smoothly, at a decidely easy pace. Tunes and samples rise out of the mix and situate themselves solidly in your ear, a pleasant change of pace from the cut-and-paste formula of other popular rock-techno acts. Downtempo memories of disco nights fuse with an open-prairie vibe, suggesting nothing so much as EnnioMorricone on acid. Perfect music for the "Charlie's Angels"room of ANY party! Chill or be chilled.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong with this., 23 Dec 1999
By A Customer
Howie's second album is a damm near perfect excusion in how to create a jazzy, laid back, beat centered album to nod your head to.

4.0 out of 5 stars quality beats + tunes from Howie B, 13 Jul 2009
in sharp contrast to the UNKLE Lp "psyence fiction" that i reviewed that was released witihn 12 months of this lp : underground secret Howie B's album "turn the dark off" from'95 is a joy. no pretensions, just great tunes, inventive beats,loops +samples. highlights include "fizzy in my mouth" - a moody intro theme with lovely strings and deep bassline and groove to it.
other personal fave tracks include "switch" (yes sampled by erstwhile producer switch himself on later releases)an uptempo tune for the dancefloor, as is "angels go bald" a groovy cheeky-retro sampling tune. the trip-hop/illbeint tune " and "who's got the bacon" is probably the best known tune on the lp, for it delicious mellowness.

fans of classic ninja tunes artists: hexstatic, kid koala,mr.scruff etc will love this album. a great lp chock full of tunes + grooves. BUY!
