The Journey Man is the third studio album by English electronica and drum and bass artist Goldie. Released nearly two decades after his previous studio album[1], Saturnz Return, The Journey Man has been described by Goldie as his Magnus Opus and his legacy album, taking five years to produce[2]. The album features a number of collaborators, including vocalist and songwriter Natalie Duncan, Terri Walker, Tyler Lee Daly, Natalie Williams, Jose James, Naomi Pryor as well as Goldie's wife, Mika Wassenaar Price.

Background

Following the critical success of his debut album, Timeless (1995), and the more subdued reaction to it's follow-up, Saturnz Return (1998), Goldie's focus moved from studio album production to DJing, acting, art, and appearances on celebrity television shows. This experience, including his appearance on the BBC's Maestro television series, led Goldie to reprise ’Timeless’ at the Royal Festival Hall with the Heritage Orchestra in 2015. It was during this process that the idea for ‘The Journey Man’ began to germinate.[3]

}}The Journey Man received generally positive reviews from critics. Erik Thompson of The Line of Best Fit stated, "on 'The Journey Man', Goldie manages to craft a sprawling, nearly two-hour collection that sounds vital and inspired, while also delivering a fresh twist on the euphoric drum ‘n’ bass club anthems that he’ll always be known for."[5]

Reviewing for AllMusic, Paul Simpson notes that The Journey Man spans genres, "As with his '90s masterworks, Goldie has created a widescreen epic that tells the story of his life through music, not only via drum'n'bass but spanning other genres such as soul, jazz, and downtempo. In addition to club-friendly drum'n'bass tracks such as the vibrant "Prism" and the darker, Photek-like "I Think of You," there are loads of tracks that do without fast, complex breakbeats.[8]

Will Hodgkinson, wrting for The Times, tempered his praise for the album, "Goldie's creativity and ambition is inspiring and the cinematic scale of his music uplifting, but this isn't hugely different from the material of his mid-nineties success".[7]

The album was reviewed less favourably by The Guardian; Ben Beaumont-Thomas cited Goldie's inability to corral his larger than life ambition as cause for what feels like some interminable material, with the 18-minute long track, 'Redemption' the place this is most evident.[9]

Charts

The album reached number six[10] on the UK albums chart, Goldie's highest-charting release, ahead of Saturnz Return (15th) and Timeless (7th).
