I see this face in my nightmares.
So how about that? I fully expected this to be more psytrance but what do ya know, it's not! In fact what it turned out to be was another vehicle for brainchild Simon Posford's own brand of downtempo not completely unlike this other act of his that has undeniable similarities. While this isn't completely dissimilar from Shpongle it's close enough that I have a hard time telling the difference.
Downtempo really isn't my music. I can get down to it for a little while but then tend to drift some. This album did to a number of good things, chief among them switching things up often enough that I remained engaged, but it wasn't enough to pull me in completely. Album wasn't bad, album wasn't great but I can't help but keep staring at the eyelashes on the cover art. I keep looking at it like it's a staring contest. Just blink already!
LOL!
ReplyDeleteYea, I have this album in my downtempo folder, but it's still hard to drop at parties...has to be the exact special moment and vibe. I remember one time I thought it was going to be a full on slow song and then came in with a 4/4 psy beat and I was like, "ohhh snap!" good thing people were too blissed out to care. ;)
