Favorite 4Hero tracks



4hero, the duo of DJ's Dego and Mark Mac, were one of the first jungle acts to desert hardcore breakbeats for the astral drift of jazz-fusion atmospheres, and Two Pages and Creating Patterns are fusion-soaked explorations, a combination of downtempo, R&B, jazz, and orchestral, these 4 Hero albums are indebted to Jazz and Funk luminaries like Lonnie Liston Smith, Rotary Connection and Roy Ayers. Most of the instruments are live contributions, and vocalists as wide-ranging as Terry Callier, Jill Scott, Mark Murphy, Ursula Rucker, and Digable Planets rapper Butterfly make appearances.

My favorite tracks:

Conceptions
Golden Age Of Life
Time
Planetaria ( Hefner Remix)
Escape That ( Off World Remix)
Loveless
Spirits In Transit
Star Chasers
Hold It Down
Another Day
Les Fluer
Wishful Thinking

I love the "We're Getting Down" remix.
