Paul Hardcastle - Hardcastle 1
Review by Rebecca Gardner
Paul Hardcastle's album Hardcastle 1 is a true masterpiece of contemporary jazz and electronic music. Released in 1985, the album features ten tracks that showcase Hardcastle's exceptional talent as a producer, composer, and musician.
The opening track, "Rain Forest," is a perfect introduction to the album's mix of lush synths, funky basslines, and intricate percussion. The album's standout track, "19," is a groundbreaking fusion of spoken word samples, electronic beats, and soulful saxophone that became an instant classic.
Throughout the album, Hardcastle's use of electronic sounds and production techniques creates a unique and immersive sonic landscape that draws the listener in. From the upbeat and funky "King Tut" to the dreamy and atmospheric "Don't Waste My Time," each track offers something new and exciting.
