Dreamy, downtempo electronic music. Parts of this music are reminiscent of Angelo Badalamenti's score for Twin Peaks. Parts of it are tedious. Parts of it are warmed-over Boards Of Canada. Here's the sad thing - Funki Porcini was doing this stuff much better a few years ago. This genre has been totally taken over by Boards Of Canada, and this won't get Funki Porcini back in the game.
1. Slow-motion narcotic quality
2. You're enjoying a pleasant, mellow buzz with some faux-strings and dreaminess and then suddenly your roommate breaks into a hyper drum practice session to ruin the mood
3. The ultra-cool sounds of the Hammond B-3 organ over a sloppy mid-tempo beat
4. Mo' slo-mo mello
5. Interlude with muted trumpet and bass line
6. Ominous chords of Twin Peaks
7. Tinkly interlude
8. Metallic mutterings
9. Bass and vibes set a dreamy mood - except that the bass melody bears a resemblance to "Hit the Road, Jack"
10. Shuffling beat
11. Queasy vocals that remind of Genesis P-Orridge's demented mumbling
12. Cheese synth and barely lively
13. Add vaguely exotic (Indian classical) vocals and add to limp rhythm
14. The most Boards Of Canada moment here - slow, quiet rhythmic shuffle, gentle synth, Vocoder vox, repeated phrases
