  • Inclinator opens with "Auger Well" which is a bouncey electronic track with slow guitar riffs. The album is a mix of orchestral and alternative backgrounds, mostly in an introspective mood. Lisa Ffrench brings a smooth and peaceful vibe to the songs that she sings on. "Accident" is built around the UK's current onslaught of retrospective 70's orchestral backings mixed with the electronic elements. "Hand it to you" personifies the ambience of Inclinator with moody, and sometimes dark, vocals blending around stripped back instrumentals. The pace is picked up on "Copel" with a definite rock feel on a song of relationships. I felt that this album needed this pick-up in rhythm to balance out the almost ballad based preceeding tracks. The BPM's continue their onslaught with "Rotary" and "Rewind". But wait there's more! A bonus hidden track on track 13, not hidden anymore. Inclinator has a market in the chill out/Lounge music crowd. If you have heard the chill out sessions, run for Inclinator-Lino. Bonus video of "Auger Well" and short film on the CD copy.
