Album description

This text is not available in your chosen language, we are displaying it in its original language.

Fresh Poulp continue son exploration musicale de l'Orient avec sa nouvelle sortie « 1000 Sounds Lotus » de The Orientalist. Album sortit en production l'année dernière que le poulpe a décidé de remettre au goût du jour.
Condensé de fantasmes musicaux provenant d'un inconscient hanté de tablas, de grooves hip-hop, de dérives drum'n'bass, de riddims aérés, de sine bass ou encore de derbouka. 1000 Sound Lotus est synonyme d'invitation au voyage. Maghreb, Asie du Sud Est et Moyen Orient sont présent tout au long de l'album, 10 titres, 10 billets aller sans retours.

Trippy Dub

Very original with an amazingly dynamic mix, like the early Saint Etienne stuff. Highly Enjoyable. Great smoking stuff. Love the tabla

Now look at me: I always said I didn't like "Trip Hop" and similar styles, and here I am, writing a review. Yes, this album is damn good. I love the samples, the beats and the atmosphere this creates. It's relaxing and energetic at the same time.
My favorite track is "Tibetan monks playing fuzzy bass tablas". The voices of the monks are awesome!
I like closing my eyes while listening to some of the tracks, for example "Entering the Mummy Grave (lo-fi dusty dub mix)". The soundscape really creates the image of a dusty, long lost mummy grave on a very hot day in egypt.
Well done!

Reverberating trip-hop that's Catching The Waves-worthy! :-)

I enjoyed this album so much that it overcame my inherent laziness and forced me to write a review at my amateurish blog about free music, Catching The Waves. (That was, er, 18 months ago, and I'm only now mentioning it here. I said I was lazy.) Anyway, Thierry is a talented polyrhythmicist who deserves plaudits for a beautifully produced platter of crackly, ambient-ish trip-hop.

Is polyrhythmicist a word? Review at:

An extremely powerful album, which manages to be political without words, by calling attention to another culture within the context of a musical style born in the West.

Don't know what else to add. Love it!

simply awesome

Diverse sounds, awesome compositions. The album is, in short, refreshing.

My favorite track happens to be Zanzibar Dub.

Thanks a lot "The Orientalist". Please come up with more!
