Review:

 

Debut solo album of a Saafi Brother brings us everything what's the best

 

in ambient-dub. First two tracks are a great funky tunes starts with a

some acid

tunes & then comes great guitar, really nice compositions with vocal

samples. 3rd one is more in Saafi Brothers style, deep & dark. Next two

are

hard trancy & dynamic, but with quiet dub influences. 6th track is only

different, shorter version of first track.

7th one is a little electro, breakbeat chilling tune. Next one is great

full of mystical energy, hypnotic, just to dance with the full moon.

"Heart.Beat." is dark ambient, a little mysterious track. "one O'Seven"

also good, lot of guitar, nice female vocals, everything is so chilling

&

relaxing there. Album is closing with funky-dub ambient tune. If You

like

dub influences in ambient music this album is for Yu, it's better in

this case

than "Gab's Gift" . Lot of highest quality tracks (1,3,6,8,9,10,11),

lot of experienced work. Try it. 8,5/10

Nice and warm. However, it doesn't hurt to pull it out and put something else

in the CD player. I must have listened "Full Moon" 100 times a couple of

summers ago. (we love to dance, to dance, to dance ...). I think GLM is a

bit lost without the other guys in the Saafi Brothers though.

"One O'Seven" is beautiful, containing a superb guitar melody. "Little

Homesick" and "Homesick Blue" are okay, but I'm not sure about the rest... The

other tracks are a bit too fast - sounds like a mixture of Techno/House and

Trance vibes... It doesn't really contain the same Chill/Dub feeling as "One

O'Seven" does... Average album.

I like this CD. Some of the tracks i've heard live in Zürich (Gabriel Le Mar is

Resident-DJ from Dekadance). Gab's Lab is experimental Sound with psychedelic

(sometimes industrial) influences, guitars and female vocals. Very beautiful

ambience. Good for chilling in the bedroom after a party. My favourite tracks

on this cd are Error Minus 666 (dark sound with acid lines), Heart.Beat (a

mysterious experimental chill-out-track), One O'Seven (beautiful female

vocals) and Slo Mo (perfect Lounge-Sound). It's a very good work, but Gab's

Gift is better (more lovely). 8/10
