20th Anniversary reissue on white vinyl in a tri fold jacket - Maxwell arrived on the scene in 1996 with the classic "Urban Hang Suite" album, garnering fans, mainstream attention and adulation. He released an unplugged EP the following year in 1997, before preparing his 2nd full length album "Embrya". Maxwell decided to go in a different direction with "Embrya", choosing a more atmospheric sound combined with mini elements of soul as well.
From the start of the album, it was obvious that Maxwell was searching to bring a more ecletic vibe, even with the tracklisting. The song titles were a bit different from the norm, starting with "Gestation:Mythos", all the way to "eachhoureachsecondeachminuteeachday: Of My Life", Maxwell let his creativity shine as bright as possible. He implemented speaking Spanish on a track as well, creating an entirlely different realm on Embrya from Urban Hang Suite.
