Musik | Bittles‘ Magazine Sinking by The Aloof is one of those albums that stick with you throughout your life and it never fails to hit the spot no matter where you are or how you feel. Released in 1996 on EastWest Records the LP saw the five-piece move away from their progressive house beginnings to incorporate a more soulful, almost trip hop feel into their sound. Best remembered for the stunning string sequences and melancholy vocals of One Night Stand, Sinking should be considered one of the great pieces of music of our times. By JOHN BITTLES
