Alternately Deep is the fifth studio album of original material by Roots Manuva. It was released on 13 March 2006 on the Big Dada label.[1]
The album contains twelve tracks recorded during the sessions for his last studio album, Awfully Deep, including a remix of "Colossal Insight" and the track "Double Drat", which was previously only available via Roots Manuva's website. It features guest production from Colossus (King Kooba's Charlie Tate; Grown Man being an alternate version of Colossus' own released track You A Grown Man Now), Easy Access Orchestra, Lotek and Ricky Rankin. The song "No Love" is featured in two videogames: and Test Drive Unlimited.
The album received generally positive reviews. Allmusic's John Bush praised the "digital distortion and bizarre, ringing tones" of the album's production, saying it "could well be a more satisfying listen" than Awfully Deep owing to its more relaxed and uncomplicated atmosphere.[2]
