Blu Mar Ten - Why Me Why Now

Review by Shari Gardner

Blu Mar Ten's latest album, Why Me Why Now, is a masterpiece of atmospheric drum and bass. The UK-based trio has been producing music for over two decades, and their experience shows in the seamless production and intricate soundscapes that make up this album.

The album opens with the title track, a hauntingly beautiful piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features a mesmerizing vocal sample and a rolling bassline that builds to a climactic drop. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a variety of moods and styles.

Tracks like "Empire State" and "Fall from Grace" showcase the group's ability to craft intricate, melodic drum and bass, while "Spectral" and "Keep it Together" bring a darker, more experimental edge to the album. The group's use of live instrumentation, such as the guitar on "Believe Me," adds an organic feel to the electronic beats, creating a unique sound that sets Blu Mar Ten apart from their peers.

Summary by Shari Gardner

Why Me Why Now is a stunning album that showcases Blu Mar Ten's mastery of the drum and bass genre. The album is a must-listen for fans of atmospheric electronic music and a great introduction to the genre for those who are new to it.
