Green Tea - Places & Spaces (2009)

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I just got a job and have been working out the kinks. I will try to be more consistent. This is a wicked album, mostly instrumental with two tracks featuring an underground rapper. I'm not quite sure what his name is, even though it's mentioned in both songs he features on. I'm not too fond of the rap lyrics but it isn't awful. If you like jazzy beats to just sit back and chill out, don't pass this up.




01. Something Like This
02. Maximum Joy
03. Dew Drops In The Garden
04. Cruise Control
05. Jazzy Joint
06. Future Classic
07. Words Left Unspoken
08. Porto Seguro
09. Thinking Of A Master Plan
10. Yes Party People
11. Eclectic Relaxation
12. The Waiting Game
13. Cruise Control 2.0.
