专辑简介
The first two releases from All India Radio have been constant companions of mine for the past few years; sublime journeys of electronica, tasteful guitar, globally-informed composition and imagination-stirring samples which have proved invaluable when, as Dave Graney once sang, "You want to be there, but you don't want to travel."
Upon this release the brains behind All India Radio, Martin Kennedy, has handed over the production responsibility to Byron Scullin (Biftek, David Bridie, Wolf Creek soundtrack) and we find ourselves with a subtle yet nuanced evolution of the musical style Kennedy debuted three albums ago in 1998.
Of course, since Kennedy's initial release the genre known variously as 'ambient', 'chill' or 'soundscape' has brought forth hundreds more artists; it's interesting that other DJs/producers/electronic artists were not brought in to remix a couple of tracks, as there is ample room for it in these compositions.
There's a couple of vocalists brought into do their ethereal and airy best over a fairly dense mix of strings, bass, drums, guitar and synths as well as some addition of strings on some tracks, but it's Kennedy's love of the Morricone-style stark, lanky guitar lines set upon aural textures reminiscent at times of electro-minimalists the Boards of Canada that really hit home.
This is tasty music that sets your imagination loose while steering clear of becoming aural prozac - it's musically provocative yet effortless in its blending of sounds and melodies.
