Thumbs up UNKLE- War Stories

Something of a guarded recomendation this one. I think this is a spellbinding piece of work with some excellent songs (Restless, Key to the kingdom and Burn My Shadow are standouts) but it is a different angle of attack to Never, Never Land so you have been warned.

I think its excellent though and given you can pick it up for under a tenner what have you got to lose?.

Re: UNKLE- War Stories

Is it similar to Psyence Fiction or a completely different kettle of fish?I missed Never,Never land so might check that out as well.

Different- less looped samples and breaks and the production is less "crackly" I suppose if I were searching for a similarity, War Stories has more in common with tracks like Lonely Soul but even then its not a perfect fit.
