Well I picked up this gem last week and have allowed it to sink in...
Touch Sampler 1 and 2 were very good, and this one does not disappoint.
Still retaining the ecclecticism that is the Touch 'sound', this release
takes you on a fuzzy, dreamy, esoteric ride through short wave
radio transmissions, location recordings both in and out of doors, pure
abstract electronic noise, and even a mellow trip hop influenced pop
track. Panasonic, Chris Watson and Biosphere are among the contributing
artists and I must say, not really knowing much about Biosphere, their
track is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I have heard in a
while. A release that can't be categorized, It's a quiet disk, and one
that does not demand a lot of attention; it's perfect to relax to,
read a book, get stoned, whatever. A very arty farty disk, yet one that
lacks any pretentiousness. A good break from all the breakbeat I've been
listening to lately.
bye all
