artificial nature

To start with we have a cool track, well-balanced mini-dance. Next Level is still laid back but a bit more intricate, with good sampling. By now I'm ready for the beat and it is very palatable... :-) Almost ambient in places and some nice noises in track 3. Empire of Oppression nice synthetic start, the pace already feels faster, good voice overs that almost intrude upon what is a really nice deep, mid-paced piece of music in itself. Are we talking of any particular empire? Either way, the electro works of its own accord. Nutrix feels organic to start with, lovely noises supported by a rhythm that builds to match. Again, mid-paced generally and a lovely electro track, but still quite peaceful feeling. Perhaps, I'm picking up on positivism, perhaps I'm not? And then it blossoms out into a cascade of sound, interpreted with snatches of percussion and synthetic solos. Again, I think genre wise, this is a 'complex' minimalism electrobeat, not feeling trance/house/dance in that full on way, but I think this style is a development were the sublime is good techno fusion/use of technology and the other end of the scale are the free-form experimentalists. Having said all that, Before Breakfast does suddenly present you with that house intro, but evolves into quite a well-fused, reasonably laid-back track. Again, very minimalist but with subtle depths, formed through the moulding of the musical contents. It's even got birdsong!-) with just a smatter of 'trance', a bit of fibre for breakfast? The Answer feels serious from the start, which is nice and again it's simple in structure and tone, with various little side-tracks to ultimately form a really good track, nice and tight throughout. If this IS THE answer, I liked the question... Children of God, slow, piano, voice, minimalist, lyrics, this is the only track I just didn't care for particularly. But back to it with Bye, Bye, Jungle (which I reckons a good idea!-) but is more dance than anything else yet on this album, faster paced, typical dance structure and sound. Then The Praying Mosquito is quicker and makes a good trance type track, finely done. Alone In The Forest keeps up the pace, but with a softening swirl of synthetic noises, and rocking guitar licks fading in and out. This is like the warm down!-) Chill in the forest...
