Amazon.co.uk Review This Tokyo turntablist is becoming something of a veteran scratcher, as Zen makes it seven solo album releases in about the same number of years. It's established that Krush has ears everywhere, incorporating scraps from across the genres, alternating semi-conventional rapping and singing cuts with all manner of sample-fests. The DJ host's invited a guest for every track except the opening "Song 1", setting an even pace, its loungey chimes caressed by flute trails. "Zen Approach" has Black Thought maintaining a languorous rapping pace, a bleeding bass tone melting his trainers. The inspired "Sonic Traveller" hacks into yet another channel, marimba and gong sounds colliding with crunch-beats, surrounded by bongo stutters and dubby bass retches. Company Flow spouts the most flared-up rap on "Vision Of Art", then Krush cuts to N'Dea Davenport's moderately conventional "With Grace" soul vocal, while Roots-man ?uestlove helps sculpt the visually evocative "Endless Railway", its resonant bells, faked Russian chorus and heavy machinery effects coming on like an Ennio Morricone soundtrack. --Martin Longley
