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 | ||
