MichaS Reviewed 2005-11-23 | ||
Stromba is actually the name of the duo (or maybe a colloective?). Instrumental Ambient/dub, with some leaning toward jazz and more avant-garde electronic music. A bit on the dark side. A debut LP for the British duo. Good stuff. *1. A moody sax, sort of jewish/mid-eastern, and acoustic guitar opening. Jazzy/moody feeling. 2. Nice Dub. 3. Slow dark ambient. *4. Long opening with a basic, searching, drum and ambient sounds, joined by a trumpet. Echoing female vox joining later with a mysterious guitar. 5. Cool and minimal ambient/dub. *6. More energetic. Nice beats. 7. Begins estranged and dark, grows into friendlier beats. Electronics+ trumpet. 8. A bit faster with some African-like percussion and trumpets. 9. Slow, jazzy and trippy dub. Bass, congos and trumpet. 10. Dub. With classic Raggae horns, and with some human voice sampling. *11. Himalaya bells of some sort. Hypnotizing. 12. Acoustic guitar and bass, with a violin joining later. Moody and Pastoral. |
