As of November 2016, it was certified silver by British Phonographic Industry for 60,000 sold units in UK. [17] As of January 20, 2017 it has sold 72,756 copies in UK. [18] Certifications [ edit ] Region For some Bonobo fans, this new emphasis on hyper-texture is enough to satisfy. But for those looking for radical departures, they won’t find it here. In fact, they will find that a sizeable chunk of the album is stamped with the thumbprint of Quantic before and after he decamped to the Colombian jungle. In this way, one can quip that despite Green’s decision to jump ship from Tru Thoughts onto Ninja Tune shortly after the release of Animal Magic, he’s sounding more like his former label’s flagship act. But this likeness to Quantic is not necessarily a demerit on Green’s part. If it is imitation in some form, he couldn’t have chosen a more distinguished musician to ape. Also, Green has done a finer job of making his music Avatar-like palpable than Quantic has done in the past. Official Charts Analysis: The xx claim No.1 spot with third album I See You".

Fragments certainly feels up to date stylistically, with a mix of hi- and lo-fi sounds that evoke the silvery sheen of an episode of Euphoria, or the lavish productions of Green’s more adventurous labelmates. But Bonobo’s latest work still carries some of the worst traits of his earlier records, leaning so deeply into relaxation that it loses urgency altogether. In its endless, flavorless drift, the album amounts to little more than a modern-day take on easy listening, with all the signifiers of lush, aesthetic experience and none of the stakes. It’s fine as something to throw on—but then, so is lo-fi hip-hop radio.By the time Days to Come came out in 2006 on Ninja Tune, Green had acquired an appetite for live vocals and his fondness for world music, developed during the days of Dial M For Monkey (2003), was well and truly consolidated. Strains of Erykah Badu could be detected throughout his sound palette, while Green’s explorations into the “exotic” took on the form of Madlib if he were to add to his long list of collaborators Quantic. Yet, despite the cacophony of influences and intimations, Days to Come was a triumph in cohesion. In short, Green was able to do to chill out music what J Dilla did to instrumental hip-hop. Both acts managed to keep their respective genres relevant even as they took to unconventional production methods that were more demanding of the listener, but also more rewarding than any standard chart-topping fare.

Like Jason Swinscoe, Green has progressed from predominantly sample-based production to more live instrumentation, although Green plays most instruments himself rather than relying on an extended family of musicians. But, more to the point, Green has become equally adept at mastering mysterious and multi-layered atmospheres.
