Comment: Jared C. Balogh continues to flesh out his concept of post-classical music which was also clearly discernible on his previous issue Awkward Balance (under the pseudonym Life Like Thunderstorms). As you can see there is up some logic (about strongly searching for balance) between the two titles. Emotionally it is a restrained one as if moving in a multiple stream of configured elements which do have a subdued power and having possibility to appear differently. At times one configuration used to predominate over other ones, and vice versa. Because of that it can be called the artsy sort of mood music. It is mind-provoking and soothing at the same time due to being partly driven by velvety downbeat rhythms and immersive electric piano chords. It might it is a sort of (post-)jazz music. At Let's Spoon To This Mello Storm one can hear some similarities with Tortoise, for instance. It is even more calm if to compare it to Awkward Balance. However, it is somehow lurking otherwise. The issue is a part of the discography of Enough Records (but it is also available at Jamendo, and Free Music Archive)
