The Neverlands starts off strongly as an ending, a fruitful, enjoyable stay hopefully. Sector9 retains the mood, in a different, exquisite fusion. Airbook, with its height, maintains altitude with attitude. Cruising along in an uplifting manner. Then, Conspiracy Theories tootles into existence, building slowly, expanded gracefully into full view. Some lovely moments amongst this strange ambience of paranoia. The tone gets a bit more serious in the middle. A Jarre-switch? Nicer, I think.
Blue Screens cuts a curious atmosphere to start, chimes come into play, very soft with synth slithering around and echoing in the background. Then almost chant-like the keyboards join the fray, to the crescendo of voice sample and extra synthetic flourishes. Beat and rhythm kick in, nice and easy. There are a selection of experimental structures and sounds, to choose from throughout really, here and there, artfully placed. Then followed by Aerish, its start a touch garbled but soon, scintillating synthetic rhythm and noise form, upping the ante with its beat. Nice track again! Almost hypnotic vocal layer.
Balkans Myth is quite stern to start, softened slightly with vocals chanting a soliliquy of confidence. Beat steps in and forms a simple structure for the musical ingredients, that are mixed the other way around, to create a stronger blend. The Best Band In Jupiter, for sure by Jove!-), strong, but durable and light, perhaps even gaseous. The beat/rhythm section seems to assert that sense. Airy and expansive. With Out & You, lovely burbling synths help form the structure of the firework display, sounds like a good outing to me.
Thota Anemoplan is a nice ambient beginning for a track that despite its slow pace maintains itself and retains interest in what is to come. I think that is a talent rare in anything we do and express. Wonderfully peaceful. Hundreds Of Kilometers, train-station with a beat. Then synth takes the backgrounds' place and holds your command, as the variations begin to develop. It might be a sunny journey. Straight into the unreal bass of The First Bar Tender. Guitar overlain and crackles of synthetic noise, suffles into an almost jazz lounge effect. Exacerbated nicely by the use of piano.
Anemic Love, is just suddenly there, and I'm a little taken aback. I'm not sure how to place it, the fusion is so subtle and difficult to nail down. Ambient is the only appropriate word that springs to mind. Then when the beat joins it all seems to make more sense now. It's a very cool, laid back track. Finally, The Neverlands, is a sad goodbye, but very apt.
Thanks for all the sounds StrangeZero!-) Respect and good luck.
