Bonobo is Brighton-based beatmaker Simon Green's chosen moniker, and Dial M for Monkey follows naturally on from a selection of excellent records he has released over the last couple of years. Known for concocting hip-hop skeletons in his studio and then fleshing them out with live instrumentation and lush melodies, Green has excelled himself covering his erstwhile tunes with a sprinkling of magic dust that gives the whole thing a yearning, seductive glow. Meandering along at its own unhurried pace, Dial M… coruscates constantly with bright percussive sounds and reverie-inducing moods, casually introducing us to the producer's fantastic melodic content, array of innovative ideas and delicate sound-sculpting. In all, this is the sound of a man quietly inviting us into his private dream world for a nice cup of herbal tea and a biscuit. It'd be rude not to, wouldn't it? --Paul Sullivan
