A Small Good Thing: Cool, Cool Water
Soleilmoon Recordings sol 35 cd
Cool, Cool Water is an eclectic blend running the gamut of melodic
electronic music: shimmering minimal housers to beautifully chilled
trip hop and some intelli-jungle. This CD will appeal to the Pork
camp on this list. "Steigerville - South" even has those spaghetti
western overtones from the last CD including a sampled vocalist who
has some similarity to David Thomas (Pere Ubu). "Temperance" is
14:51 of moody ambience. "Burned Clean" is a lovely head-nodding
melodious 4/4 instrumental with spiritual overtones and samples ---
beautiful. "The Art of Deception" finishes out with that folky twangy
ambient guitar stuff for 49 seconds.
Every song was nice for me. Very upbeat.
9.5/10
On Now: Lisa Carbon & Friends: Stereococktail
The mystery continues. There is the distorted picture of some clubby
female on the cover. The credits say "jammed by lisa carbon &
friends" and the artwork is "by lisa carbon and pod." The
music....hmmmmm.....jazzy, bleepy almost improvisational jams.
I'll tell you more later.
On Next: Bullitnuts: 1st of the Day (Pork)
Have A Nice Weekend!
