Hardcastle 5

Performer: Paul Hardcastle
Producer: Paul Hardcastle; Paul Hardcastle
Distributor: RED Distribution

Notes: Audio Mixer: Paul Hardcastle. Smooth jazz artist Paul Hardcastle is known for his synth-dominated instrumentals, and the fifth installment in his series of numerically titled albums (released in the mid-2000s) delivers more of the easy-listening ambient soundscapes for which he's known. Some tracks have a smooth R&B flavor, while others are light fusion, and others still are atmospheric sonic explorations. Taken together, they create an aural experience that is gently relaxing yet full of colorful ideas and detail Paul Hardcastle started out making propulsive electro-dance music in the '80s and subsequently became a smooth-jazz practitioner on his JAZZMASTERS albums. HARDCASTLE 5 splits the difference between the two, presenting a loungey, chill-out side of Hardcastle's sound that's a mixture of ambient, acid jazz, downtempo, and pop. The mostly instrumental tracks on 5 bear the smoothness and light, jazzy touches of Hardcastle's JAZZMASTERS releases, but with a distinct link to the more electronic side of his musical personality.
