I hadn't heard much about this, and just went ahead and ordered it. Now I give myself a huge pat on the back for a job well done. This is only really a 'various artists' album in the same way that the two Mystery of the Yeti's were - the artists appear on several tracks in different collaborations, and this is produced as a whole rather than a nice collection of individual tunes. It starts out truly ambient, with few beats and plenty of drifting soundscapes. Subtle samples punctuate the longer tunes, which in themselves develop perfectly. The mood is calm, and deeply relaxing, without losing interest. Then a couple of tunes are more beat driven, and there are some dub elements - but still the feeling is chilled. Occasionally a hint of intelligent darkness creeps in (Ice Age for example), but towards the last third of the album the tunes are calmer once more, wafting your mind away to far off places. These tunes are clever without being pretentious - chilled without being boring, and contain choice samples from sources like 12 Monkeys to shamanic mumblings. I wouldn't say that any one track stands out, though they all have a distinct flavour. The production quality is faultless throughout - this is definitely psychedelic, but also uncluttered stuff. A very worthwhile album for anyone who wants to take a journey without raising their heartbeat. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlueSpectralMonkey Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 freakin putting heads straight to bed with no sherbet, Myosotis is proper. the beats are chilled, but occasional hints at enigma and hip hop flavours. hmmm. but not too much --since the other beats goove and tweak those suggestible chemically zionked chillout room deviants. wacky samples and some neat and tight droney bits. ummm, get it straight from koyote, like me. no question.
