Phutureprimitive - Kinetik, 2011
I was delighted to find common ground in the world of electronic music with my friends early on. They still leaned further toward the not as weird but were down with a lot of great whackness, especially psytrance, which is just fantastic. Phutureprimitive's first album is a psybient/trance masterpiece in its own right but something about this one has me on a whole new plain.
It's a chilled out take on various -step styles of music, whatever that really means. It's not pure dub inspired stuff like the originals but also not super close to the bombastic nonsense from modern EDM heavyweights. It's in between, I suppose. It has a very futuristic sound and atmosphere throughout and bass drops that evoke some sort of synthetic sense of divinity as opposed to shattered ears and half naked teenagers.
I've been more connected to this album thanks to the influence of certain psychedelic substances, and it had lead me beneath an overpass and past an emptied quarry to a new century. Complete darkness helped the visuals construct an immense world of cybernetic wonder that remained superimposed onto my vision upon reaching the other side. So you know, cliche experience. It was more a beacon than regular album during that stretch.
Elysian Fields - Dreams That Breathe your Name, 2003
With Jennifer Charles being the undisputed queen of musical sensuality you can imagine any music becomes 18 times sexier if she even just breathes a syllable on top of it. Lovage is sensual in a purposely ridiculous way but Elysian Fields make music straight from the haze of unrecalled dreams. That said, they play dream pop as the way I believe it really should be, not just a less fuzzy shoegaze precursor. They aren't shoegazy at all, really. Anyway the music is dreamy (get this), and through thick clouds of jazz club smoke come elements of art rock and slowcore.
Their music is impossibly pleasant all the same. Recommended for fans of soundwaves.
