Manchester guitarist/composer Stuart McCallum is best known for his work with Cinematic Orchestra. The distinctive, ethereal sound of his guitar has been at the heart of their sound since 2004, including the albums Ma Fleur, Live at the Royal Albert Hall, and the award-winning soundtrack The Crimson Wing. Stuart s own music, influenced by jazz and DJ culture, is a distillation of many influences from Wes Montgomery and Björk to Flying Lotus and Bon Iver. This brilliant third album, and first for Naim, is a culmination of the music Stuart has written over the last few years. Here, he sampled the best bits of his compositions, using them as the basis for further writing, before again sampling the results, and so on, until arriving at a perfectly distilled version of what he wanted to say.
