Afterglow £18
Merging laidback house sensibility with the sounds and production of future R&B, but with a definite bias towards the latter, Afterglow is essentially a collection of 14 construction kits, made up of 150 loops, plus 73 synth tails samples, 86 one-shot drums and 124 MIDI files. The compositional style is decidedly cheesy – too much so for our tastes, alas – but there are some tasty keys and synths to be had, the execution is up to Mode’s usual standard, and the price is fair. www.modeaudio.com
