Comment: undoubtedly this album is entitled properly because it includes lots of exulting and catchy elements providing endlessly allusions toward a wide array of styles and genres. By the emotional side it is sexy and seductive due to its more or less direct hints and velvety margins. Technically it is based on gritty loop-driven rhythms (veering away from downtempo and cinematic nu jazz glimpses to shimmering electro, some dub-tech vibes at the beginning of some compositions, and soulful house music) blissed-out harmony sections emerged from within the samples of acidic synthesizers sounds and programmed cadences. Some variations presented there are indulged by using acoustic guitars and the orchestrated sounds to strum up the soundscape. Predominantly there is represented such sort of music I would like to call simply as "soul-hop". By the way, the album involves a pair of tracks where Beat.Dowsing (aka Transient) remixes such artists as Carmen Chiles, and Lumeet. In a nutshell, it is a pleasing, sublime hour worth to be spent with it again and again later on.
