Blissed out R’n’B essentials’ is the M.O for this gig worth of sample goodies. Split into a variety of folders (loops, single shots and 37 sampler patches), covering beats, keys, basses, guitars and strings, this is a pretty flexible and complete package. If i had to use one word to describe it, it would be ‘smooth’. The Rhodes gets a look in (as it should) and along with a dedicated percussion library, this pack becomes worthy of the must-get pile. The whole thing has been put together very nicely by Andre Touhey of Cue Sounds so, if you even sniff towards a bit of R’n’B in your tunes then this is definitely worth the fairly low outlay.

Verdict: 9/10
