Why it's here

D&B pioneers going orchestral and jazz; Reinforced's most ambitious hour

On Two Pages 4hero stretch drum & bass into something closer to suite writing. Live instrumentation, long forms and jazz harmony enlarge the frame, and the breaks underneath survive it. Some sections sprawl. Others suddenly snap back to the rhythmic intelligence that made the expansion possible. Ambition outruns focus across a double album, and broken beat walked through the door it opened.
