This new release from UK drummer Mark Heaney is what I would call a real work of art.

I know technically music is one of the arts and most of us consider what we create to be of an artistic value, but occasionally something like this comes along and you can really hear a person’s expression of self and connect with it.

At 8 tracks and just over 30 minutes long, Mark wrote, produced, arranged, mixed and mastered the entire album himself and it really is something special.

Anyone who has spent any time recording or working on a track knows just how much work goes into that and how challenging it can be.

It’s an ethereal listen, very atmospheric with the drums front and centre of the entire record. Regardless of your musical tastes, I think everyone should have a listen to this record at least once; Mark’s playing is incredibly intricate and musical.

I love the combination of jazz expressionism along with the more electronic elements in the music. There are, to my ear at least, influences of styles from different regions throughout the world scattered throughout the record.

I actually found myself showing the final track on the album, TIilphousia, to a student who is into drum and bass and electronic music as a way of connecting the two. He liked it and I think there’s a very good chance you will too!

UK drum ace returns

Drum-led d’n’b, ambient, jazzy electronica and hip-hoppy instrumentals from a master of polyrhythmic intensity. Mark’s hugely percussive tracks though are always accessible and listenable; even if what he’s doing can drop jaws. The industrial, futuristic soundscapes of ‘Signs’ are backed with skilful drums and it’s good to hear this kind of electronic- leaning music played on a real kit. The jazzy ‘Mind Structures’, drum’n’bassy ‘Illusions’ and funky ‘Distant Visions’ and tribal ‘Tilphousia’ are all the more impressive that he’s created, played and arranged the music on his own, but it’s worth getting out to see Mark in action with his jazz quartet Extemporise too.
