The more on the ball amongst you may have noticed that all tracks on the album are named after different types of ********. Rumor has it that each track was written and recorded whilst sampling said herbs and reflects the moods of the writers at the time so is also a true smokers delight. Tying all this together the album also includes poignant sleeve notes from Howard Marks aka Mr Nice (the most celebrated purveyor of ******** ever) and his musings on the effects the **** has on the way we listen to music.More recently James Bright as a solo artist has released: James Bright featuring Rachel Lloyd: Little things (Hed Kandi)James Bright featuring Rachel Lloyd: By your side (George V)James Bright: Circles (Quango)Aside from production James Bright is also a DJ, having venues such as Cafe Mambo (Ibiza) and Amsterdam's Supper Club on his resumé, as well as many plays around the UK.
