Phonem: Hydro Electric
This cd instantly became one of my favorite cds of all time, easily in the
top ten. Its not really anything you haven't tasted before, but the whole
cd is a treat, from beginning to end, so even if you have heard similiar
stuff this cd is worth it. I think the title does a good job of
describing the sound. Its as if a bunch of machines are chilling at the
beach. Every track contains two disparate sounds. One is the almost cold
machine sound that is ubequitious nowadays and forms the basis or
background on which each song is painted, and the other half is the
super warm melodies. Most songs take a while for the melodies to kick in
and they each have more than one sweet melody, so even when you think it
can't be nicer it gets nicer, take for instance the first track which
introduces a final sweet melody only some 9 minutes into the track.
Its easy to listen to the whole thing from beginning to end without
itching to ever skip a track. Perhaps one of the reasons I'll always be
fond of this cd is because it produces the same feeling I got while zoning
out on a shitload of Methadone, I felt like I was at the beach.
