Ali Baba is from:"Instrumentales" is one seriously blunted shake down. Sampled to perfection, Malik drops vintage melodies and vocal samples like a true 70s playboy. Moody, reflective and inconspicuously cool, Instrumentales glides through dusty beats and film samples delivering a truly blunted atmosphere.Dripping pianos, horns and earthy crackles gives this album an organic sophistication that could only have been constructed by the most seasoned ear. An uncanny ability to extract the sweetest samples is testament to Malik's great taste and love for digging.Instrumentales is a fantastic release delivering a truly timeless sound.www.vibraonline.com
