Neither a hip-hop DJ nor a turntablist, Ohio's RJD2 sounds more like twelve different bands on the twelve tracks of Spoke: On the slow jam "To All of You," he could be channeling a Seventies funk band, and on "Since '76," he's on some Lalo Schifrin level. Since We Last Spoke would be a purely schizophrenic demonstration of studio skills if it didn't feature a few glimpses of an unsplit personality. On the rainy-afternoon reflective "Making Days Longer," RJD2 himself sings the winsome line "Strange how a phone call can change your day," thereby becoming one of the few DJs who seems like an artist rather than just a record collector.
