From the word go, the music exudes the confidence that tells you that all the genres will be met without fail. Ice Air is a very strong track, leaving us with a resonating ending. Submariner Story starts with a shanty of sorts and then jazzes it up big style, nice freeform, scattering some sound bytes and voice samples here and there. I love experimental music, because caution is thrown to the wind, and as luck has it, can provide very bold musical form.
Grieved Amphibia is a nice piece of electronic dubness, full of various diversifications, some of them surprisingly good. Artfully done. Then the tone and structure change and begin to regrow, partially revising itself. Another perspective of the same track, which is always a healthy attitude in an artist. I am personally overwhelmed by the amount of talent in terms of experimental electronic on this site, I can't keep up, though I do my best!-) A brilliant track.
Scanner is curiously attractive, it feels very spacious and near to some sort of extreme thing or experience. It has a resolute, harmonious ambience and good balance, considering its huge structure at times. It sounded like moving a house in one piece in places, just massive and surreal.
Kraftobanana, nice mellow electronica to kick off with, and a curious eclectic mix of variation from the theme, some subtle, some bolder and more forthright. And there was room for the odd bit of nothing, which is very tricky to assimilate, but it was a success here. You have got to be quick to catch it. That went in very nicely.
Slowly starts... slowly. Job done!-) It's seriously smooth in delivery, high quality control that gives it a snake-like charm, quite sensuous in places. Soul food. Nice switch with the drums near the middle, took it there and then brought it back firmly.
Terminus structures itself soundly at first and then begins to fill with a variety of sounds and samples. Mid-paced and surefooted, strong bass again, which I love. Nice piece of soundscaping with a lovely complexion.
Overall, I like the album. All the tracks had there own uniqueness but shared the skill with which they were created. I didn't find it strange, or edgy though, I loved that bass too much for that!-) Thanks.
