    Spiked with muted touches of rock and other intangibles, Telluric establishes Corby as far more than a genre stylist and even stamps him as a visionary to watch right out of the gate.

    I was blown away by this album. The funk and soul influences, the general chilled out mood and the provoking lyrics make a gem out of matt's debut LP.
