Anamorphic make atmospheric, slinky music, which is reminiscent of Portishead, but also has more to it. The vocals are very smooth and the funk in the background is pleasant and sleek, as long as you like the over produced sound of it. Guitars moan and drums syncopate and it's all quite cool. While Anamorphic's music is well written and full of funk and jungle sleekness, it's not for those in need of uplifting. It's harsh and unforgiving on the easy listener. The tracks are each an achievement, but the mixture may be too concentrated for some.
