I used to blast this record in high school and it still slaps!! Cant believe he was 22. Im 33 now w a music degree, producing and writing, and this still sounds like a breath of fresh air. Love him and his open taste. Thank you Will!
I remember from an Interview where he said that he tracks down his fav artists from the 60 and 70s and works with them instead of just sampling them from old records.
Read the infos of this video ! And pay respect to an album produced by a freakin 22 years old guy. This sets the level of composing and producing for my entire musical taste.
You're so right! The 5th Exotic (previous album) was recorded in Holland's bedroom. I never would have known if it wasn't it the vid description. Quantic is one of the many lesser known artists that just keeps blowing my mind.

Most (probably all?) of these tracks were the alternative soundtrack to the surf movie Campaign (or Campaign 2) by Taylor Steele from 2003 or so. So amped that Tru Thoughts and Taylor Steele teamed up because all of these tracks were straight fire when paired with the mind-blowing surf from the likes of Bruce Irons, Andy Irons, Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Dane Reynolds, Kalani Robb, CJ and Damian Hobgood, Dean Morrison, Taylor Knox, Tim Curran, Taj Burrow and many of the best surfers from that era.
