Laid-back fresh sounding ambient idm downtempo with some nods towards early
Chicago and Detroit styles. Skua Atlantic is a collaboration between Mick
Chillage and Árni Grétar
The First track 'City Lights' is a tad long for my taste, but brings the
machine funk electro. It starts out by fleshing out some of the
instrumentation in little baby steps flirting with a lead solo, but never
it comes. Kind of like the track is just stretching its legs and happy
grooving along before a horn section (car horns will do just fine) arrives,
a switch is thrown on the beats, and some ambient sections are introduced
that take you into the next track 'Machine Blues'. It isn't until some 28
minutes in that Atlantic Fusion's full melodic intention shines in the
excellent track 'Kexland'.
Overall, a fine release. Reminds me a lot of Future Beat Alliance with
it's funky beats and cold hard digital synths and filter sweeps.
