Space is quite often the theme with Eguana productions. This time the emphasis is going by the titles is clearly on the natural world. One of the aspects I like about Eguana that sets him apart from other Space Ambient producers is he doesn’t just set a downtempo four by four beat. Sometimes the drum patterns appear on the surface quite simple, but at times there are often delicate little nuances that are quite intricate. Then there is the ambience that he layers on top which themed with space or the natural world set you adrift on a gloriously relaxed journey.
The first signs of shaking me out of this journey and grabbing my attention is on ‘Wormwood’ where the drum pattern is somewhat like a marching band, or at least a band marching slowly. This is followed by ‘The Smell of Moss’ which is my favourite on the album. The ambience of the track shrouds you, while sparse deep bass notes eventually lead to the plodding drums and laid back piano keys. Although overall every track plays it’s part in the journey another I especially love is ‘Falling Stars’ where trip-hop beats sway like a boat, at times gently and others lifting on a higher wave. While the sound fx spring off those beats in perfect unison
