Some nice mellow instrumental hip-hop from Dual Control on their debut album, _Left or Right_. The sassy quotation on the title track gives an idea of the funk to follow, like the nice horn stabs and flanged samples on "You Never" or the mysterious dub-breaks on "Global People" and "Burn It Out." "Sunrise" brings a spiritual melancholy to the album, a real ear-opener. Not much that follows that track matches up, although the strings on "Do You Remember?" and "Conscience" start to approach it, especially as each track grows simpler and more effective after their midsections. "Spring Again" closes the album on some folksy-soul vocals and interesting percussion. Whatever direction you go, this album will surely please.
