Comment: TEMS is a collective of artists and musicians from Siberia, Russia who
have issued a barrage of compilation albums during the last 7-8 years. They
have got many followers all around the world. This time their key word is
jungle, though their approach is without orthodox one because of mixing those
pumped rhythms with synthesizer invoked magniloquent panoramas and drowsy new
age-y feeling and even indie electronic and jazzy whiffs. It is a moody album
rather than having intention to conquer the club venues. However, there are up
some exceptions either. Get yourself the headphones and listen to this decent
agreement between those spaced-out panoramas, blissful synth touches and spicy
rhythms. It used to ignite some memories from my childhood while watching and
enjoying the film score of such cartoon as Tayna
Tretey Planety (1981, Sojuzmultfilm). Indeed, the compilation embraces a
lot of outstanding compositions. There are represented such artists as Susanin,
N-Box, Black Dominates, Joint Stock Galaxy, Berkheya, Cj Ools, Parhelia, SND,
Van. In a word, TEMS did it again. It is obviously one of the best compilations
from the year 2014. The more you listen to it the more it winds up.
