Like leafing through half-remembered sun-filled photographs, this downbeat release strikes me as a nuanced journey through the shade of memory and emotion. The mood is sustained pretty well for a compilation. Ambient pieces are mixed with plantive guitar strum alongs. A few vocal flat spots and poor enunciation don't necessarily derail the overall effect - sort of enforced meditation. The soundstage seems devised to laser in on your cortex, with many slowed-heartbeat tempos and a sailor's rigging of strings inspiring contemplative reflection. There are clangers: Ashphalt and Peachy Keen straddle the divide between confidence and ability and Eightfold sounds disturbingly like Cat Stevens while EM;u's hDub channels Michael Jean Jarre. Elsewhere Dystopia's poetry n' horns evocation of summer breeziness disarms and Ishta offer an exotic sitar-fueled raga. The Monkey Magic release tour began at Splore, so if you like that stuff, this could be up your street. Info from www.monkeyrecords.co.nz Related Information
