Audiopile Review: Initially released on Martyn’s 3024 imprint, Leon Vynehall’s breakthrough debut album, Music For The Uninvited, celebrates 10 years of existence with a new pressing, coupled with a pair of unreleased tracks culled from the era. Though the album was preceded by a handful of singles that marked Vynhehall as a producer to keep an eye on, Uninvited was the proper start of his ascension as one of the premier new house producers, eventually making his way to Running Back, then on to Ninja Tune before forming his own imprint, Studio Ooze. Swinging for the fences, Uninvited is an overtly lush and pretty album, his productions techniques are room-filling but invite deeper listening, sounding years ahead of his youthful age (the album was made in his early-mid 20s!). The added element of live strings and trumpets to his driving rhythms, swirling synths and ear-wormy vocal samples, were a refreshing counterbalance to the rudimentary lo-fi house scene that was dominant at the time. An absolute classic, mercifully rescued from OOP status.

Leon Vynehall’s critically acclaimed ode to the formative cassette mixtapes of his youth, Music For The Uninvited, celebrates 10 years with a reissue on his Studio Ooze imprint and comes with 2 previously unreleased bonus tracks, ‘Peaces’ and ‘Blue’, recorded during
the same sessions, along with reinterpreted artwork from Eric Timothy Carlson of Jeroen Erosie’s original piece
