World/tribal feel to this electronic experimentalism, turns shoegaze contemporary pop in no tine, Weird. Treated synths and percussion, like music from a strange digitized African island one moment then to a sci fi disco on The Island no time. Tracks are all brief. Great stuff.
1) brief, treated gongs
2) pulsing percussive electronics
3) brief, vocalizations appear
4) tribal feel in the percussive electro, with vocalizations
5) very tribal, with flute-like instruments
6) breaks the mold, very percussive but not overtly tribal
7) quiet mellow intro with vocals, then a downtempo percussive beaty
8) chill, with vocalizations, pleasant percussion
9) tribal but upbeat electronic simultaneously, cool
10) melodic and shoegaze somehow, turns upbeat in a poppy manner
11) simple folksy warm up to something great, brief
12-14) tomita meets krafterk
15) bells evolve to flute tones
16) quiet intro to a middle eastern feel, upbeat and musical
17) brief a capala “now I understand”
18) electro percussion madness
19) begins with flutes, goes through changes, ends with heavy eastern beat
