What do you call a meal with a main course of ingenuity, a side of jazz, and a cocktail of funky? You call it flight 602, and you'd be hard pressed to find it as cleanly packaged as in an album from AIM. The record is upbeat but subtle-- kind of like an accidental night in with your best friends (...or that new guy/girl you just can't stop thinking about). AIM has accomplished the feat of providing us with an album that doesn't sound like anything you've encountered before. Our Stage 4 featured tracks are definitely of the electronic variety, but AIM holds a couple wild cards in the hole. An acoustic track - IT'S LATER THAN YOU THINK - that totally rocks, hip-hop gurgling beats, some brass, and a funky riff or two.
