USER ILLUSIONS : Texture

 

"Human consciousness is unlike all other varieties of animal consciousness in that it is a product in large part of cultural evolution... creating thereby a cognitive architecture unlike the 'bottom-up' minds of animals.... This architecture furnishes each of us with... a user-illusion." - Daniel C. Dennett, 'From Bacteria to Bach and Back: The Evolution of Minds'

‘Lost Routes’ by Conscious Route & True Note

 Conscious Route & True Note: Lost Routes

Edinburgh-based rapper, Conscious Route and producer, True Note bring you their collaborative debut album, ‘Lost Routes.’ As True Note brings a range of musical styles from hip-hop to grime and drum and bass, Conscious Route uses his lyrics to deliver social commentary, personal insights, and politicized wordplay.

The Album is out now on all digital platforms

 

Music from this 20-track release has already been catching attention, with three instrumentals and one full track being picked up by Channel 4 for their mini documentary series, ‘Take Your Knee Off My Neck,’ a response to the killing of George Floyd, which shared experiences of racism as it delved into the issues around the Black Lives Matter movement. 

You can hear instrumental extracts from ‘Needles', 'Mash up Days', 'Cat’s out the Bag' and the full vocal version of 'Frontline' on episodes 1, 2 and 4:

A powerful and personal contemplation on UK life in the 21st Century, this release possesses more than enough bump to take the message to radio and the clubs too. 



On a personal note, I can't recommend this album enough. It's utterly outstanding. -  Drew Devine aka Werd
