With the release of 'The Master Plan', the second album by Swiss duo The I-Twins, Fruits Records strays from the beaten track, as until now the label only seemed to focus on releases by Jamaican veterans like I-Kong or The Inspirators (Leroy 'Horsemouth' Wallace, Earl 'Chinna' Smith, Lloyd Parks and Anthony 'Sangie' Davis). As the band name suggests, the duo behind The I-Twins are twin siblings Quentin and Camille Chappuis, both reggae fanatics since the age of thirteen. In 2008 the twins also itself to make music (besides as The I-Twins is Quentin also still active as bass player with Najavibes and producer for Fruits Records, and Camille as a singer with Skankin' Society), which in 2014 already resulted in a first long player produced by Fabwize. The sleeve of successor 'The Master Plan', a design by Jeanne Tara, immediately reminded yours truly of the work of Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher, known for his images with impossible constructions, studies of infinity and interlocking geometric patterns. Apart from an intro and an outro, 'The Master Plan' contains 12 new songs and 5 dubs. For the album The I-Twins collaborated with musicians from Najavibes. It was recorded at the Bridge Studio in Geneva, mixed by Roberto Sanchez and mastered by Sam John. In their sound the twins blend reggae with influences from jazz with the one time Quentin on lead vocals and the other his sister Camille. With: "Eli Eli lama sabachthani?" ("My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?", according to The Gospel of Matthew, the last words Jesus spoke on the cross), in opener 'Answer To Job' you can even a phrase in Aramaic. And it's certainly not the only Bible reference on 'The Master Plan', as in 'God Of Abraham', in which Quentin condemns the actions of extremists who supposedly act in the name of their God, he uses excerpts from the Old Testament (Genesis 22, in which Abraham is asked by God to sacrifice his son, and Genesis 34 in which Simeon and Levi take bloody revenge for the rape of their sister Dina, but see their actions strongly condemned stby their father Jacob).

The I-Twins summarize the album as follows: "'The Master Plan' refers to a spiritual concept, according to which everything happening in our lives follows a sort of divine, mysterious and ungraspable plan. At Times the plan seems beautiful to us, at times incomprehensible and a spiteful. We believe that this vision can enable us to live a more peaceful life and comprehend our tribulations with philosophy: even though reality may seem revolting to us, accepting it and having faith in life will always give us more positive perspectives and more strength to change what is wrong and unjust. Are violence, war, hatred, misery, injustice, greed, inequality part of this plan? If so, why? Or is it humans who distort a plan which was originally good? No one knows, but to us this conception of life can make us not only humbler, but also better equipped to be actors or the change."; a beautiful message resulting in an excellent spiritual album.
