Jesse Reuben Wilson aka Positive Flow is a sort of rebel in this present day. After releasing his debut album “Positivity” in 2006, a period where the broken beat and nu jazz scene was starting to tail off in many people’s psyche, the Kent raised producer could have done like so many others and made the choice to take the more stripped down, minimal approach with further releases. However, he did just the opposite and recruited some of the real heroes of the nu soul movement to help create an outstanding album that picks up where he left off six years ago. “Flow Lines” is the attempt to remind listeners that electronic soul still has a place in this fickle music environment. UK soul captain Omar lends vocals on the future jazz, boogie “My Prediction” and the more straight forward “Do What I Do”, while Colonial Red contributes to the full, multi-synth, funk based “Hold On”. Other collaborations include Heidi Vogel, Stacy Epps and Vanessa Freeman, all adding to this beautiful palette. The broken beat element isn’t completely lost, which is evident in “Orange & Brown”, however it seems as if Positive Flow is more interested in simply focusing on the interplay of melodies rather than trying to boaster a “most complex drum programming” title. If a vast amount of the electronic world is focused on the hardest raving anthems, “Flow Lines” can be considered the cool down point when the sun begins to rise and where the true reflection starts.
