I have benn lucky enough to procure a promo copy of the new
Irresistible Force LP. As usual there is no track listing with this
Rising High promo, and although I have seen the listing posted, I
do not have it to hand.
I am not very experience at doing reviews, but here are my
impressions from one listen this weekend
The sound is instantly recognisable as MMM. Those ever-repeating
glistening shards of sound are out there in force. The first 2 sides
of the double vinyl didn't break any new ground for T.I.F., rather
refining the established sound while remaining distinctive.
On side three I was more surprised. Some very strange jazzy sounds
came to my ears. On side 4, we revert to good old Terrence McKenna,
but his whining has been toned down by about -8 on this disc, so he
sounds like a normal human being (almost). A very pleasant trip.
Overall, highly recommended to all connoisseurs of chillout/ambient
and trance music. Mixmaster Morris fans won't be disappointed.
Thanks to Rising High for a very good quality pressing on this,
further enhanced by my brand-new SL1210s which I bought the same
day!
