"In May 2003, John released his latest album “The Down Sessions” which is his most adventurous and accessible sonic collection to date. Musically, it is a sizable shift from his previous E.P.s. The album focuses more on his orchestral leanings further inspired by the use of string sections. The album reveals a more melodic and freestyling side although it still retains its innovative and cutting edge beats. The “Down Sessions” contains a myriad of rhythms styles and features that use atmospheric effects to a great degree. The album preceeded the single “Alone and Endless,” an infectiously melodic and haunting sampled track with dark ambient strings underpinned by down tempo rhythm, displaying the versatile nature of John’s output and also a willingness to side-step temporary fashionable dance sub-genres such as break beat and all the rest."-
