[peaceful experimental]

smooth, muted portraits of electric instruments. Most songs are vocal-free, beats are semi-chopped, atmospheric. RILY Hyperdub, Kuniyuki Takahashi. Rec 1,2,3

1- ** (7:08) Imagine Bonobo on Hyperdub, underwater. Starts: musical elements lined up atmospherically. Teasing. Not exactly 'comfortable'. Morphs gradually a muted smooth, trance-state 104bpm groove.
2- * (3:46) Syncopated, retro at parts. Melancholy almost, coffeehouse/spa vibe. "City dweller" is fitting. Electric pianos, sustained tones, dubby beats.
3- ** (2:15) v calm, relaxing, soft, ethereal. Wispy echos. ahhhh *grin*
4- (3:36) Uplifting, electronic, bells, experiential. Indistinct vocals. Imagine a nature documentary showing flowers and tadpoles growing in the rain. Almost danceable.
5- (1:51) epiphanaic, powerful, meditative, slow. Would fit in Blade Runner.
6- * (4:04) Nice pulse! A melodic song-structured duet, reflective. Theremin. Solid echoey samples w/ synths sounding nostalgic. Weirdest on album.
