Lee Jones returns to Aus, following his debut release for the label in 2007 There Comes A Time a sublime melodic slice of heaven, to be found floating high in many an end of year favorites list. Essex bred Lee Jones lived in London until 2002, where he was producing and remixing as the downtempo/ nu-jazz artist Hefner. After following his heart to Berlin, he was inspired by the music and clubs to move into a new production style and for the past 4 years hes been the creative production force behind My My whose debut album Songs For The Gentle made waves across the globe. 2008 will see a number of solo releases from Lee, hes also planning to complete his fourth Hefner album and has begun work on a new album with Nick Höppner as My My. Aria is a striped back but purring with refined detail and melody. Lee’s classic delicate and distinctive groove rich with percussive fills is present and correct. Beautiful strings combine with an embellished swirling pad to create a lush palette of melody that will remain firmly lodged in your brain. With the Tiger Stripes Remix, its as if Lee’s original has been injected with growth hormones. The melody is intact and the vibe remains, albeit bigger, tougher and firmly peak time.
