Kaos: The Anti-Acoustic Warfare

Kaos: The Anti-Acoustic Warfare is the second studio album by English musician Adam F. It was released on 10 September 2001 through EMI. The album moves away from the drum and bass music from Colours (which Adam F described as "a phase"), and instead features hip hop music with almost every song featuring a vocalist.[1] Upon release, the album reached number 44 on the UK Albums Chart.[4]
