If anything Shape The Future is one of George Evelyn’s finest achievments, and is all the more affecting for its refusal to be dimmed, keeping a zen-like stance in the face of adversity.
Shape the Future is easily N.O.W's strongest and most cohesive album since the imperious In a Space Outta Sound. However, it's entirely its own thing and perfects the blend between digital and the organic sounds superbly.
Daydreams on Wax has seemed like a more suitable name for George Evelyn's primary outlet for the majority of its existence. It's more apt than ever for Shape the Future, an album typified by serene, earth-loving optimism, even when romantic heartache is in play.
