Style: instrumental hip hop, jazzy hip hop
Primary Emotions/Themes: Small moments in time captured in audio form
Thoughts: Instrumental hip hop is always such a trip for me. More often than not the songs are short and to the point, trying to explore small packets of emotions for a minute or two at a time. Pabzzz takes this concept and runs with it.
After the rain is a collection of seventeen songs in just under forty minutes. In the brief time that we spend together we get a whole assortment of styles and beats. Each one of these songs lures me in and takes me hold hook line and sinker, one moment at a time.
One minute I'm jamming to some jazz, another some rain dropping down on my windows, the next a recollection of what life was like years ago. At this point in my collection I've weeded out a lot of the bad apples from most genres. Instrumental hip hop went through a similar purge as most other genres in my collection, and I'm very glad that After the Rain made the cut several times. It's an outstanding album.
